I sat down with Prof. Cordelia Fine for an in-depth discussion about her wonderful new book “Patriarchy, Inc.” She critiques two dominant stories of inequality — the “different but equal” view and the “business case for diversity” — and sets out a richer vision of what equality should mean today.

We are grateful to have had @ufeest.bsky.social join for this week's HPS Seminar, where she discussed work from her new book Operationism in Psychology: An Epistemology of Exploration. A stimulating and insightful session. Thanks a lot, Uljana! #iHPS

I am saddened to hear of Professor Jonathan Lear’s passing. His work has been a source of insight as I’ve engaged with psychoanalysis. I especially valued his attempt to reposition psychoanalysis beyond pathology, as a means for cultivating the human spirit; beyond fixing and toward flourishing

So delighted to welcome Prof. Heather Douglas to The HPS Podcast! In this illuminating conversation, we explore the history & legacy of the “value-free ideal.” Heather offers insights on the evolving responsibilities of scientists, and presents her bold vision for a new social contract for science.

This episode is so great I hardly know where to start!The last ~15mins will be especially interesting to metascientists, including the most thoughtful plan for reforming scientific/research funding I think I’ve ever heard. Wow! #Metascience2025

This week's HPS Seminar we had A/Prof. Kristian Camilleri present some of his work on the problematic role that the idea of “orthodoxy” and dissent play in histories of quantum mechanics (& science generally). Really great stuff. Always nice to hear from your supervisor! #histsci #hps

Incredibly influential thinker. Her two-volume history of cognitive and computational neuroscience is a goldmine.

This week, distinguished historian and philosopher of science Hans-Jörg Rheinberger joins us to explore how scientific inquiry unfolds through experimental systems. We discuss 'epistemic things', technical objects, and their implications for how science is practiced and understood. #hps #histsci

Here is a quick lesson in objectivity in science, and why diversity is important to its maintenance. Plus a fascinating case study! @samaragreenwood.bsky.social

An incredible achievement for a very impressive ECR-- Samara's research is well worth tuning in to!
