Public Science for Just Outcomes
Prof Simon Springer
To realize the potential of science it must be oriented towards the principle of ongoing empirical investigation. At the same time, we must recognize the truth claims that come with such work. Science should be a processual commitment, not a vaunted or superior claim to truth that is already made. This ongoing work unpacks the ways in which scientific knowledge is made and mobilized as a political tool, recognizing that the role of politics play a vital role in the transmission of scientific knowledge and have considerably influence over its potential to achieve social justice outcomes.
