Speaker
Description
In my talk I will discuss the Open Science movement and its concerted efforts to reform science from the ground up, highlighting its discourse culture, forms of organising, and the implications of their proposed reforms. My own sociological research on the transdisciplinary community forming around replications will be one focus of the talk, delineating potential advantages and pitfalls of opening up collaborations on science reforms to private as well as political actors and their (less than scientific) interests. Another focus will be the narrative side of their advocacy, explicating common narrative elements and ideas present within the Open Science discourse. One point of reflection will be the implications for the epistemic diversity of the sciences. (preliminary)
