#socsci — Public Fediverse posts

"Sur le rôle de l’expérience, est-ce que vous connaissez un texte que j’adore, qui est la controverse entre le mathématicien René Thom (médaille Fields en 1958) et le physicien Anatole Abragam, à l’Académie ? Cette controverse a été extraordinaire.
(...) Thom avait publié [en 1984] un article d'une demi-page dans Le Monde, dans lequel il trouvait que l’on dépensait beaucoup trop d'argent dans la recherche expérimentale. Il avait pris deux exemples. Le premier était l'exemple de l'ADN. Il disait qu'il suffisait de réfléchir pour voir qu'il n'y avait besoin de faire des expériences pour comprendre sa structure. Le deuxième exemple était celui de la physique des particules. Il disait qu’il suffisait de regarder comment sont les équations et qu’il n’était pas utile de dépenser autant dans les accélérateurs. Cela avait fait scandale. Le Bureau de l’Académie avait organisé un débat public Abragam-Thom sur le rôle de l’expérience en sciences."

And here's is a list of journals in my field(s) that don't suck, based on my (own, possibly evolving) criteria. I hope it grows over time, it's still pretty bleak.
https://marioangst.com/en/blog/posts/journals-list/

- #sustainability Science
- Policy Studies / Political science #polsci
- #networkscience
- #digitalization research
- #socsci methods

Please, if you know of other journals in those fields that don't suck, let me know. And if you are involved with one of the journals on these lists, thanks so much for your work, you rock. And if you need reviewing or anything I can help with, let me know.

Anyone come across a typology of social practices based on max-neef's needs & satisfiers for software?

Like a list of various types of routinized activities for different sorts of needs, purposes "satisfied" by software? #design #ixd #ux #socsci

Looking for a #Mastodon instance focusing on #humanities etc. Basically #learning / #education with a humanities & #socialsciences slant, especially about #books & ideas

I found zirk.us. Scrolled a bit and it's not as "let's all learn, all the time" as I was perhaps hoping (as unrealistic as that may be), but #zirkus does look promising.

Anyone know a better instance? Maybe humanities / #socsci #academics?

@scott_bot

Probably want some # for that.

Let's see if there are boost groups:

@datadon @datascience

OK that's all I can find for you.

Good luck!

I'm cool with trying to be more active here on #Mastodon but I'd also like to find a more specific and germane instance than the big Social server.

Where are #academics congregating on here? Especially #humanities and #socsci academics?

How has social science qualitative research changed in the past ten years? What does qualitative research do differently today?

Also share the post, follow us on the birdsite too @AcademyRewrite. If you can volunteer with us, and have an idea for a workshop, please reach out. Do your magic hivemind. #TRAWorkshops #SocSci #Humanities #AcaCommunity #ResearchCom

Hello lovely people, I run a peer-support group for humanities and social science scholars. The idea is to share knowledge about the academia and research, such as how to write papers, grants, thesis, abstracts, how to publish, how to be at conferences, how to conduct field-work, organise your readings, figuring out citations, and much more. These are not intuitive, but learnt. If you'd like to be a part of it, or support it, please write to [email protected]. #TRAWorkshops #SocSci
