Virtual diversity revisited
In no small words: Sandra Harding (1935-2025)
Virtual diversity: Resolving the tension between the wider culture and the institution of science
There are widespread calls for increased demographic diversity in science, often linked to the epistemic claim that including more perspectives will improve the quality of the knowledge produced. By distinguishing between demographic and epistemic diversity, we show that this is only true some of the time. There are cases where increasing demographic diversity will not bring about the necessary epistemic diversity and cases where failing to exclu…

Values and vendettas: Populist science governance in Mexico
This article aims to diversify STS perspectives on populism by addressing a sequence of episodes of Mexican science policy in terms of clashes between populism and scientific communities. The article describes a reorientation of Mexican science policy that has destabilized the academic system during the present administration. Specifically, it looks at the legislative project initiated by Mexico's National Science and Technology Council (Conacyt)…

Global Epistemologies and Philosophies of Science
In this chapter, we argue that in order to understand the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary dialectics in sustainability science, it is useful to see sustainability science as a kind of management science, and then to highlight the hard-soft distinction in systems thinking. First, we argue that the commonly made natural-social science dichotomy is relatively unimportant and unhelpful. We then outline the differences between soft and hard sy…

Tapuya’s Volume 2 cover was developed with two ideas in mind. Firstly, seeking to increase engagement with the Latin American STS community through an open call for images that connected with Tapuy
Opening up’ science policy: Engaging with RRI in Brazil
This article presents initial results from the Brazilian team in the Responsible Research and Innovation in Practice (RRI-Practice) collaboration, concurrently running in 22 countries. The project invites reflection from institutional actors through a variety of participatory exercises that focus on RRI’s potential for ‘opening up’ and impacting national science and innovation policy. After summarising the operational challenges faced during the …
The locus of legitimate interpretation in Big Data sciences: Lessons for computational social science from -omic biology and high-energy physics
This paper argues that analyses of the ways in which Big Data has been enacted in other academic disciplines can provide us with concepts that will help understand the application of Big Data to social questions. We use examples drawn from our Science and Technology Studies (STS) analyses of -omic biology and high energy physics to demonstrate the utility of three theoretical concepts: (i) primary and secondary inscriptions, (ii) crafted and foun…
Molecular Detector (Non)Technology in Mexico
This paper discusses the introduction of fraudulent "molecular detector" (non)technology into Mexico. The case is used to argue that contemporary science and technology studies' approaches to scientific policy-making make basic assumptions about the societies they operate in that are inconsistent with the Mexican context. This paper also argues that contrary to what happens in the so-called Global North, the relative power of Mexican science in g…
Automating the Horae: Boundary-work in the age of computers
This article describes the intense software filtering that has allowed the arXiv e-print repository to sort and process large numbers of submissions with minimal human intervention, making it one of the most important and influential cases of open access repositories to date. This article narrates arXiv's transformation, using sophisticated sorting/filtering algorithms to decrease human workload, from a small mailing list used by a few hundred re…
Linking the subcultures of physics: Virtual empiricism and the bonding role of trust
This article draws on empirical material concerning the communication and use of knowledge in experimental physics and its relations to the culture of theoretical physics. The role that trust plays in these interactions is used to create a model of social distance between interacting theoretical and experimental cultures. This article thus seeks to reintroduce trust as a fundamental element in answering the problem of disunity in the sociology of…
