Political Strategies for Mechanistic Evidence: Wedging and Buttressing Access to Contraception and Abortion Pills
This paper analyzes two interrelated strategies for using mechanistic evidence as a political instrument of social power, the Wedge and the Buttress. I compare two policy skirmishes over contraception and abortion pills. First, Pro-Life critics of emergency contraception aimed to undermine the switch to over-the-counter access. They drove a Wedge into the proposed mechanism, stalling policy change by raising politically motivated doubts. Second, …
Values as heuristics: A contextual empiricist account of assessing values scientifically
Feminist philosophers have discussed the prospects for assessing values empirically, particularly given the ongoing threat of sexism and other oppressive values influencing science and society. Some advocates of such tests now champion a “values as evidence” approach, and they criticize Helen Longino’s contextual empiricism for not holding values to the same level of empirical scrutiny as other claims. In this paper, we defend contextual empirici…

Imposing Values and Enforcing Gender through Knowledge: Epistemic Oppression with the Morning-after Pill's Drug Label
Among feminist philosophers, there are two lines of argument that sexist values are illegitimate in science, focusing on epistemic or ethical problems. This article supports a third framework, elucidating how value-laden science can enable epistemic oppression. My analysis demonstrates how purported knowledge laden with sexist values can compromise epistemic autonomy and contribute to paternalism and misogyny. I exemplify these epistemic wrongs w…

The Error Is in the Gap: Synthesizing Accounts for Societal Values in Science
Kevin Elliott and others separate two common arguments for the legitimacy of societal values in scientific reasoning as the gap and the error arguments (respectively, the arguments from underdetermination and from inductive risk). This article poses two questions: How are these two arguments related, and what can we learn from their interrelation? I contend that we can better understand the error argument as nested within the gap because the erro…
