Finally got around to publishing a summary of my phd thesis. Stuff about pluralism, economics, philosophy of science. #philsci #econsky doi.org/10.23941/ejp...

Looking forward to the Vienna summer school on the history and epistemology of econometrics. Probably never had a preparatory reading list this long for anything (not half is in the pic 😅)

How to represent and communicate uncertainty in climate science and other policy-relevant research? Workshop Making Sense of Uncertainty in Science and Policy is starting at the SOCRATES research group at @iphilluh.bsky.social Organized by Margherita Harris, Joe Roussos, Leonie Wiemeyer #philsci

Tuoreessa arviossaan KTT Anna-Maria Murtola arvioi Feminismiä talouteen -teoksen (2024). Hanna Ylöstalon, Heini Kinnusen, Emma Lambergin ja Inna Perheentuvan laatima teos johdattaa lukijan kriittiseen feministiseen talouslukutaitoon sekä feministiseen taloustoimijuuteen ja sen haasteisiin. 1/3

My colleague Rawad El Skaf argues that IPCC policy scenarios should include ones where Global North stops pursuing economic growth - committing to economic growth is not "policy-neutral" as IPCC mandate requires. #econsky #philsci doi.org/10.1080/1350...

Poliittinen talous -lehden vuoden 2025 ensimmäisessä julkaisussa VTT Teemu Lari @teemulari.bsky.social käsittelee taloustieellistä pluralismia. Lari avaa lektiossaan, mistä taloustieteellisessä pluralismissa on kyse ja millaisia perusteluja pluralismin puolesta ja vastaan voidaan esittää. (1/3)

Looking forward to discussing economic expertise and the knowledge gap between economists and laypeople in the next ReSES seminar. Online & open to all! #philsci #econsky

University of Helsinki decided to leave Twitter (X).

Many fascinating topics in this CFP: Institutional conditions for epistemic trust, role of experts in democracy, social and cognitive diversity...

Michiru Nagatsu's (@ustagan10.bsky.social) inaugural lecture, "Practical Philosophy in Practice: Thinking, Feeling, Imagining and Acting at the End of the World" is now on the TINT Blog: tint-helsinki.fi/2025/01/23/i... #PhilSci

Some comments on my recent interview with Ha-Joon Chang in this blog post. I think the counterarguments to pluralism in economics merit more attention than Chang gives them: tint-helsinki.fi/2025/01/21/c...

Last week I started as a postdoc fellow at @iphilluh.bsky.social in the "SOCRATES" Centre (Social Credibility and Trustworthiness of Expert Knowledge & Science-Based Information). I will study philosophical questions related to economic expertise. How to recognize most relevant and reliable experts?

Resignation of the Journal of Human Evolution Editorial Board: We are saddened to announce the resignations of The Joint Editors-in-Chief, all Emeritus Editors retired or active in the field, and all but one Associate Editor. Press release below.

TINT Blogissa @teemulari.bsky.social tekee suomenkielistä yhteenvetoa Ha-Joon Changin pluralismista ja nostaa esiin haastattelussa avoimeksi jääneitä kysymyksiä. (English version of the blog post on Ha-Joon Chang's pluralism will appear soon) tint-helsinki.fi/2024/12/19/p...

@teemulari.bsky.social interviewed Professor Ha-Joon Chang as he visited us in Helsinki. The interview is now out in Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics. Issues covered: Pluralism in economics, role of economists in politics, advice for young scholars doi.org/10.23941/ejp... #EconSky

A PhD student at CambridgeHPS has been putting “artwork signs” up all around our department next to “ordinary things” and they are brilliant. They unfailingly make me stop and smile and notice the wonderful strangeness of the world ✨ Best workplace spirit-lift hack I’ve seen in a long time 🙌

What a great interview with Ha-Joon Chang! @teemulari.bsky.social asks searching and informed questions covering so much ground. Even the greatest mystery of them all, namely how the two Chang brothers, Hasok and Ha-Joon, each independently arrived at pluralism in their fields. #econsky #philsci

This interview I did with Ha-Joon Chang on #economics, #pluralism and #democracy is a long one – hence a thread of provocative quotes to whet your appetite. 🧵⬇️ (On some points I agree, but the interview also includes my counterarguments) doi.org/10.23941/ejp...

"Economics, Pluralism and Democracy: An Interview with Ha-Joon Chang" is out in Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics! Prof Chang claims that economics needs pluralism and that ordinary citizens should understand economics. What? Why? Find out! ➡️ doi.org/10.23941/ejp... #econsky #philsci

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Philosopher of science: The measurement is a result of an inescapably value-laden process of defining 'full' and 'empty'

Mark your calendars for the main conference on philosophy and methodology of economics! Sept 17-19 2025 in Bayreuth w great keynotes by @richardpettigrew.bsky.social @furmank.bsky.social, Wendy Carlin. The organisers and the Program Com are meticulous and inclusive #econsky #philsci #philsky

This is exciting! Tomorrow an online lecture by Professor Mariana Mazzucato on industrial strategy. Like all ReSES lectures, it’s open to everyone. Please join us!

This is so inspiring ✨ If we can leave X, can we leave Elsevier too? What else could we do if it wasn't 'impossible'? #EconSky #AcademicSky

Lot's of talk about AI revolutionizing the productivity of scientific work nowadays. How about in philosophy or other humanities? Has anyone come across truly efficiency-improving applications of AI? Please let me know, I want that much hyped boost. #philsky #academicsky

Excellent analysis on Trump's presidency and what it means for Europe. We are not ready in so many fronts. www.cer.eu/insights/can...

I'm looking forward to this seminar on institutional economics in Helsinki on Monday. Open to all! The seminar is designed for anyone interested in learning about cutting-edge economic research, its implications, and the debates it has inspired.

Tips on reading research literature welcome! If you start a research project on a topic partly new to you and need to read dozens of papers to get familiar with state-of-art of the field, where do you start? With the old classics? The newest ones? #academicsky #philsci #philsky

Relatable but also: I’d like to talk a little bit about this headline, which is, in my opinion, an example of dysfunction in science reporting today. (Since there’s no alt text, headline reads: “This Black Hole Is Eating So Much Matter that It Defies Known Science”, from 404 Media) 🧵

Hey, y’all, Duke’s Center for the History of Political Economy has now made its way to this site. Follow us for news on history of economics happenings here at the Center: @hopecenter.bsky.social!

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Science is not value-free but social and moral values have legitimate roles in data analysis and theory building. #academicsky

Confused about how an accepted manuscript is transformed into the final proof. Re-reading my published work and finding several typos and missing words which were NOT there in the final accepted manuscripts (I checked!) but are now in the published version. How is this even possible? #AcademicSky

This blog post is a perfect illustration of the relevance of philosophy of science. Policies and practices aimed at promoting objectivity will fail if based on a mistaken view of what objectivity is. Same with fairness, responsibility, etc.
