THE SOCIALITY OF SCIENCE: NOT JUST AN ACADEMIC QUESTION

ABSTRACT: This talk explores two approaches to the sociality of science: one that treats social aspects of inquiry as contingent factors and critical contextual empiricism that treats certain social aspects of inquiry as constitutive of inquiry. The relevant epistemological details are spelled out and the different implications for addressing the public uptake of controversial areas of inquiry, such as climate research and research on social behavior.
