Relational epistemic humility in the clinical encounter
Epistemic humility has garnered increased attention in recent years, including within the realm of clinical ethics and is increasingly accepted as an important part of patient-centred practice and clinical care. However, while literature on the topic often states what epistemic humility is not , there have been few positive definitions given for the term. Further, these few positive definitions downplay the relational nature of epistemic humility…
Mapping the conceptual and spatial footprints of Singapore's knowledge transfer to Africa
We transitioned from labour-intensive industries to skills-intensive industries in the 1970s and 1980s, and to a knowledge-based economy in the late 1990s. From 2010, we sought to develop a skills-intensive and innovation driven economy, and to position Singapore as a distinctive global city (Heng, 2024).1 To many observers, one of Singapore's major accomplishments in past decades has been the development of a knowledge-based economy. Exporting t…
Trolls maintained
In this paper, we use trolling to illuminate the entangled and complex relationship between online debate, technological infrastructure, and justice. While a great deal of research has investigated the harmful effects of trolling in the form of cyberbullying and online harassment, attention to the infrastructure of trolling can provide new insights into information flows within digital infrastructure, and consequently, bears on questions such as …
Trolls at the polls
This article considers how politically motivated Internet trolling, within the context of the Malaysia from May 2018 until February 2020, made use of affordances of algorithms and platforms to achieve their goals, from targeted attacks on individuals to collective interventions for advancing social and informational justice. Centering on the importance of digital platforms and algorithms in framing and shaping online communication, this article e…

Taking Stock of Engineering Epistemology
Networked Human, Network’s Human
This special issue explores the conceptions of the human that emerge out of the form and the design of information and communications technologies (ICTs). Geographically, our focus compares two countries with a relatively high level of ICT penetration—South Korea and Singapore—and two countries with a relatively low level—India and Vietnam. In each country we see how different forms of the human emerge, in part out of the ways in which technologi…
The Internet in Asia through Singapore
The Internet or, as these authors argue, Internets (plural) in Asia are composed of cables and exchanges, protocols and firewalls, regulations and other legal devices, making them subject to investment and governance strategies, as well as treaties and court cases. But they are also composed of figures, layers, stories, and rumors. These latter descriptors provide a heuristic framework of social features that, together with metaphors from folklor…
Survey Techniques
Survey techniques are methods used in behavioral and social sciences. Rather than acquiring information about every individual in a population, a sample is used to estimate the traits and opinions of a particular population. Advances in probabilistic sampling in the 1930s and 1940s allowed researchers to use formal survey techniques to study large populations relatively easily. These techniques are valued by researchers for being reasonably accur…
