Sylvia Wynter
Through dialogue, this article explores the works of Sylvia Wynter to elicit some implications for science studies. In particular, we explore her analysis of the ideological construction of Man as the paradigm for humanity and how this structures the Othering or exclusion of non-White-cis-straight-men from the definition of human in the extant Western Colonial period. We also explore the ways such ideologies find expression in the logics of some …
Imagining Science Education Through Ethnographies of Neoliberal Resistance
This article describes translation of research on resistance against neoliberalism into the curriculum of a science teacher certification program. It examines the way that the discourse of STEM reorganizes science as a neoliberal project. It summarizes the author’s ethnographic work on street medicine, i.e., the medical practices developed to support patients in states of emergency and, centrally, protesters at counter neoliberal/corporate global…
Questioning Power
A Science Literacy of Love and Rage
Love and Hate
In this article, the author traces his memory of and identification with Diane Arbus's photograph “Child With a Toy Hand Grenade, in Central Park, NYC” (Arbus, 2003, pp. 104–105) to his concept of Arbus as the last great humanist in contemporary art. He then connects Diane Arbus to another of his artistic humanist/heroes, Casanova. For the author, Arbus and Casanova are each registers of a need to experience humanity intensely, at the expense of …
Slash Writers and Guinea Pigs as Models for a Scientific Multiliteracy
This paper explores alternative approaches to the conception of scientific literacy, drawing on cultural studies and emerging practices in language arts as its framework. The paper reviews historic tensions in the understanding of scientific literacy and then draws on the multiliteracies movement in language arts to suggest a scientific multiliteracy. This is explored through analyzing the writing practices of groups other than scientists who for…
Tams Analyzer
This article provides an overview of an open source qualitative coding and analysis program called TAMS Analyzer, where TAMS stands for Text Analysis Mark-up System. The article reviews the history and design of this software. This history focuses on transformations in the software that have allowed it to work with larger scale projects, more abstract analytic categories, and wider varieties of media. In examining the software design, the article…
Randomized Design and the Myth of Certain Knowledge
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) has explicitly promoted randomized research designs and implicitly promoted clinical trials as the only legitimate educational science. In doing so, the law seeks to remodel educational research in a medical mode. This article draws on the narrative of a human subject participating in a medical randomized experiment to raise questions about the extent to which such designs secure the goals NCLB claims t…
A Public Culture For Guinea Pigs
This article explores an emerging culture and politics of ‘voluntary’ human research subjects in the United States. In the cultural studies and anthropology of science and medicine, we have become used to the voice of patients challenging and contradicting the voices of medical and scientific authority. Generally, however, our research has been the media which brings these discourses into juxtaposition. Rarely have patients organized themselves a…
A Public Culture for Guinea Pigs
Differentiation and Opportunity in Restructured Schools
In this article, the authors examine the responses of 24 highly restructured schools to a persisting tension in American education: balancing the competing aims of providing students with common experiences, on the one hand, and addressing differences among individual students, on the other. Conventional schools typically respond to this dilemma by dividing students for instruction into different tracks and ability groups. Because of tracking's r…
