Summing Up What Can Never be Summed Up: A Meditation on the Work and Legacy of Charles L. Bosk
This special issue of “The Forum” publishes Charles L. Bosk's final work—a book proposal written for a trade audience titled—The Price of Perfection: The Cost of Error. Five noted scholars Carol Heimer, Carla Keirns, Mark Neuman, Julia Szymczak, and Stefan Timmermans offer commentary. Their essays touch on common themes: Bosk's humanity, his wry sense of humor, and keen ability to highlight the absurdity of the social organization of contemporary…
Post‐Truth and the Production of Ignorance
This essay is written in response to Fujimura and Holmes’s piece “Staying the Course,” published in the December 2019 special issue of Sociological Forum—Resistance in the Twenty‐First Century
Collective self-experimentation in patient-led research: How online health communities foster innovation
Invisible people with invisible pain: A commentary on “Even my sister says I'm acting like a crazy to get a check”: Race, gender, and moral boundary-work in women's claims of disabling chronic pain
The production of forbidden knowledge
In science, the search for knowledge is often considered an unlimited good or even a “moral calling”. However, the idea that some knowledge is dangerous and ought to be forbidden is deeply entrenched in Western culture. Scholars of the epistemology of ignorance have not yet agreed about how to categorize forbidden knowledge within the broader phenomena of ignorance. The extant literature typically categorizes forbidden knowledge into one of two t…
Forbidden Knowledge: Public Controversy and the Production of Nonknowledge 1
Sociologists, philosophers, and historians of science tend to focus their attention on the production of knowledge. More recently, scholars have begun to investigate more fully the structures and processes that impede the production of knowledge. This article draws on interviews conducted with 41 academic researchers to present a phenomenological examination of “forbidden knowledge”—a phrase that refers to knowledge considered too sensitive, dang…
Undone Science: Charting Social Movement and Civil Society Challenges to Research Agenda Setting
Undone science'' refers to areas of research that are left unfunded, incomplete, or generally ignored but that social movements or civil society organizations often identify as worthy of more research. This study mobilizes four recent studies to further elaborate the concept of undone science as it relates to the political construction of research agendas. Using these cases, we develop the argument that undone science is part of a broader politic…
Uncovering the Man in Medicine: Lessons Learned from a Case Study of Cluster Headache
Cluster headache is a notoriously painful and dramatic disorder. Unlike other pain disorders, which tend to affect women, cluster headache is thought to predominantly affect men. Drawing on ethnography, interviews with headache researchers, and an analysis of the medical literature, this article describes how this epidemiological “fact”—which recent research suggests may be overstated—has become the central clue used by researchers who study clus…
