Open Inquiry in Science

Overview

The Institute for Humane Studies invites applications for “Open Inquiry in Science,” an interdisciplinary conversation examining barriers to open inquiry in scientific communities. 

Join us online for a seminar-style conversation led by Cailin O’Connor, professor of logic and philosophy of science at the University of California, Irvine. Participants will interact with a small group of scholars for an in-depth discussion of epistemic failures in the sciences and how scientific communities can avoid them.  

While the conversation will be open-ended, please come prepared to discuss these readings, which you can access by clicking the links below:

The conversation will take place online on February 21, 2024, beginning with opening remarks at 3:30 PM Eastern Time and concluding at 5:00 PM. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
