On the other hand, I have witnessed social scientists demonstrate similar arrogance in their outright scolding of wet lab scientists for their word choice, rather than responding positively (if in a corrective manner) to their efforts to speak a language that you claim special ownership of. That arrogance is reflected in the suggestion that wet lab scientists cannot be taken “seriously” on the “serious” work that takes place outside of their labs. Is it fair for a social scientist to expect full entry into the wet lab world while denying the right to use the word “humanity”?
But this is not really a question of fairness. It’s about understanding the complexities of the concepts that you are using, and understanding the power of language to create, reify and transform.
I was the ‘in-house’ social scientist at a nanofabrication laboratory for 3 years and I can relate to the power asymmetries that Paul Rabinow describes in his post. The kind of asymmetry that allows everyone to “be” a social scientist in 5-or-less lessons, while maintaining the boundaries of the hard sciences. I found that this asymmetry was ultimately reflected in the larger issue of the power to delineate research sites and agendas. I think that not enough has been written on these exercises of power and what they may mean for the social sciences.
Can we define what we mean by power? Are we talking specifically about the ability to shape research agendas and sites? (There’s probably a whole other thread here on where different kinds of agendas or organizations should be created, e.g., at the level of the funding agency, nation, lab, center, university, research field, etc.)
I wonder if asking my question differently yields a more useful understanding: Is it “reasonable” to expect a biologist to allow some measure of her lab’s goals and daily activities to be driven by perceived “five-lesson biologists”?
It seems in my limited experience that most physical scientists don’t presume to be or are interested in becoming “five-lesson social scientists”. They are interested in an earnest engagement on issues of research practice, but perhaps feel at some point they become a distraction to their (and their students’) daily activities. (In fact, I suspect that the social-physical science power imbalance is probably underpinned by this asymmetry of interest: The broader social sciences are more interested in the physical sciences than the other way around.) Unfortunately, physical scientists do use many of the reserved words from “your” vocabulary in a different, more casual way. I agree that we need develop physical scientists’ (and the broader public’s) understand these concepts in a way that demonstrates utility. It also seems that most physical scientists are turned off from collaboration where social scientists enter into discussions with them as if they never question the broad ramifications of their day-to-day work, such as in the above example of using the word “humanity”.
