And then Terry Lynn Carrington.
Lisa SahulkaHOST
with her group Social Science.
Lisa SahulkaHOST
We heard the tune Autonomy Song off of this brand new album.

The album is called Trip the Night Fantastic.

He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a corresponding fellow of British Academy and the recipient of some of Canada's highest academic honours.

Over several decades, Professor Dyson House has become one of the most influential voices examining how legal systems respond to crises, authoritarianism, and political upheaval.
DivineHOST
The 20-hour class is for step two and step three, level two and three.
DivineHOST
The 25-hour step one class is for step one to three, level one to three, right? And then the next class is the social sciences and ethics class.
DivineHOST
This is also for step one to three or level one to three.
DivineHOST
Uh, this class is a five-hour class.
DivineHOST
Is a five-hour class, right? This class, what are some of the benefits of this class? Well, in that one class, we go through about 300 different scenarios that cut across ethics, social sciences, healthcare systems, communications, and all those things.
DivineHOST
Hospital medicine.
DivineHOST
The thing is, these things are about 10% of any USMLE exam you take these days.
Derek ThompsonHOST
Um, Caltech faculty voted to strongly encourage in-person seated exams to make sure that you weren't relying on take-home exams that could be spoofed or faked or, you know, passed off to ChatGPT.
Derek ThompsonHOST
Faculty in the Social Science core at the University of Chicago went as far as announcing an AI ban and a prohibition of all classroom technology starting this fall.
Derek ThompsonHOST
I've read that other undergraduate and graduate programs around the country, including I think at places like, is it maybe, maybe Berkeley, have thought about banning all use-
David DemingGUEST
Yep
Susan JamesGUEST
And I think by the time I finished my degree, I was getting a bit restive for something, uh, more social.
Susan JamesGUEST
And so I went to work with, um, to start my PhD under the supervision of a woman called Mary Hesse, who was a very distinguished philosopher of science.
Susan JamesGUEST
who at that time had started to work on the philosophy of the social sciences and she was particularly engrossed in the new work being done by Habermas and in the relationship between Habermas and the Marxist tradition in the philosophy of the social sciences.
Susan JamesGUEST
And for me that was a wonderful thing.
Susan JamesGUEST
So I worked with her and I wrote eventually partly in Cambridge and partly in America, I wrote a thesis about holistic explanation in the social sciences, which was partly about a kind of what was then a current debate between so-called individualists and holists.
Susan JamesGUEST
That was sort of about the metaphysics of what kind of entities you needed to explain social phenomena.
Susan JamesGUEST
Should you work entirely with individuals or should you work with groups? And if so, what kind? And so on.
7 MINS LATER
Kohei ShiozawaHOST
Yeah, so how did you arrive at the 17th century debate on passions and action.
Samuel KwekubonsoGUEST
And that was one of the most difficult things because you had resistance coming in from so many sources against that, but we managed.
Samuel KwekubonsoGUEST
We managed to, we now have a School of Technology and Social Sciences, which is a major of the School of Technology and the Social Science, SOLAS, School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
Samuel KwekubonsoGUEST
I still feel, even though some people will disagree with me, that we didn't have the need for a separate school of research and graduate studies.
Samuel KwekubonsoGUEST
Because Genpa is a graduate school.
Robert EvansHOST
The self-appointed investigator of black academics could recast himself as a guardian of merit, simply a man of learning, asking questions." With no reply to his last email, Harris took his claims elsewhere and enlisted another retired academic, Martin Hammersley, professor emeritus of education and social research at The Open University, who has a history of wild claims about feminist standpoint theory.
Robert EvansHOST
His grievance is what he regards as the influence of activist research on the social sciences and the diversity of viewpoints.
Robert EvansHOST
On the 19th of May, 2023, Hammersley wrote to Hilary Crimin, head of Cambridge's Faculty of Education, and Rhys Morgan, the university's head of research policy, governance, and integrity, setting out allegations concerning Arde's 2018 paper in social sciences.
Robert EvansHOST
Crimin then met with Arde and the faculty's director of research.
Robert EvansHOST
Arde agreed that the article could be temporarily removed from the journal's platform while the issues raised were examined.
Robert EvansHOST
It's important at this stage to understand what the hunt had failed to achieve.
Robert EvansHOST
After years of relentless scrutiny, only two of Jason Arday's 33 peer-reviewed papers had been challenged.
Robert EvansHOST
The article in Social Sciences was amended in December of 2023, with additional references and clarification of its relationship to earlier work.
Jamie WoodhouseHOST
My response is, well, the fix for bad science is better science and more science.
Jamie WoodhouseHOST
But how do you think the big picture about social science is the quality of them? And, you know, is psychology and sociology getting better? Is it learning from those challenges?
Björn Johann ÓlafssonGUEST
It's definitely getting better.
Björn Johann ÓlafssonGUEST
I mean, look at psychology and sociology like the 60s and 70s or even before that.
Andy LipkaHOST
Needless to say, he's astoundingly qualified.
Andy LipkaHOST
We should also mention that he's been the winner of several prizes at Yale, including the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, which was given by Phi Beta Kappa, and the Lex Hickson Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences.
Andy LipkaHOST
But his greatest distinction of all is to have taught an Everscholar on numerous occasions and to be a member of our board as well.
Andy LipkaHOST
So welcome.
