A couple of months ago, my constructive exchange with Simine Vazire regarding what tallies of proportions of men versus women who are engaged in scientific integrity
discussions in Psychology has to do with scientific integrity evoked this critical comment including a call for people like me to “calm down.” I do not like being told to “calm down.” Instead, in true Rabble Rouser form, I acted up. And a new series of guest posts that contest some of the cherished wisdom of social psychology is the result.
“Look around you for people with good ideas who might be hovering in the periphery, and invite them to pull up a chair (as an author, speaker, guest blogger, you name it). Be aware of when the airtime given to arguments tracks the demographics of people making them more than their expertise or thoughtfulness, and consider whether you could steer the conversation toward the latter more than the former. “
The more I thought about it, the more I thought, “This is a great idea.” So I have issued several calls specifically for women willing to write guest posts that contest the “narratives of oppression and victimization” that dominate social psychology and the social sciences. This thereby nails two types of the need to "provide space" with a single stone:
1. Calls to "make room" for women
2. Calls to end the political bias and discrimination that haunts the social sciences. And strong, articulate, thoughtful women have begun answering that call.
Two have now been posted:
1. One on the Sexism in Science Controversies, can be found here.
2. A second, on Conservative Feminism, can be found here.
Oh, and I do not have to agree with everything in each one in order to post. The views expressed are those of the authors who deserve the credit for their ideas. I will, however, feel quite free to respond to comments in the comments sections.
More are on their way. This page will be updated, as those guest posts come online.
