Pluralism and Innovation in Science
Pluralism and Innovation in Science
Embedded Files
In my work on science, education, and tech, I study the social contexts of knowledge and knowledge-making
The structure of scholarly argument
Here I show the main claim (blue), subclaims (green), and groundings (yellow) of a scholarly argument from an ongoing computational project called ScholARG, where I use LLMs for supervision in a transformer pipeline to represent argument graphs

Cultural Authority and Scientific Knowledge
Cultural Authority and Scientific Knowledge
In my macro historical work, I study the cultural authority of scientific knowledge and the nation-state
The nation-state as a relational outcome of epistemic flows, 1800-1913
Here I show international social scientific and reformist congresses* carrying social theories and policies throughout the West.
*1 dot is 1 congress traveling from/to a country.
