@mbalter (here was my thread after reading the latter: https://t.co/QmSL9Wxc4t)
@mbalter One of the coauthors elsewhere wrote a good paper defending the importance of scientists' value-free ideal for maintaining public trust: https://t.co/0e2RdgyOYw
when woke journals refuse to publish a paper arguing that science should be impartial https://t.co/LBBVbrNrEM
@lastpositivist has recently recovered an argument from Du Bois to defend the view that, unachievable as it may be, the value-free ideal remains an important regulatory idea, at the very least because it affects the public perception of science. ... https:

@NateSilver538 Something like this: https://t.co/L5CNkmFFfe goes for journalism too I think, and this case is a good illustration of why. A former student of mine @SelinaSwiftt argued as much in her undergrad thesis in fact.
... Fair play to Yong, I think she's just correct! Learns me. But it also makes me think that here lurks something of an ironic (almost Du Boisian: https://t.co/iR1zmJl0D4) case for depoliticised education. So I still think the case against DEI can be pres

Just read this by @lastpositivist. The "value-free ideal" is the idea that scientists should present science based only on pursuit of truth, not stuff like whether an idea is harmful. Tl;dr Du Bois argued VFI is necessary for public trust in science. ...

Most likely the article I cite in my dissertation. The study of religion as a humanistic discipline can strive to be value free (in the way defended in the article). And its greatest gains have come from more eyes, eg the landmark change in the NewTestamen

4/ LK Bright's article is about how DuBois argued against the complete collapse of the scholarship/politics division. DuBois obviously believed in activism, but he had two good reasons for upholding the division. https://t.co/eo1kRzZCU7
Blague à part, il y a des versions légitimes de cette "neutralité". D'ailleurs saviez-vous que W. E. B. Du Bois tenait à l'une de ces versions ? https://t.co/lnMvWKIA36

@Philosophi__Cal I am on board with e.g., WEB Du Bois that we should not pursue an agenda when doing research, or at least not let that be the primary motivator. It just doesn't end well if we do that (cf paper here by @lastpositivist https://t.co/r0024zbM
