Helen Longino has been one of the most influential contributors to discussions of the role of values in science, the nature of objectivity in science, and the social nature of scientific knowledge. Through classic works like Science as Social Knowledge (1990) and The Fate of Knowledge (2002) to more recent work on behavioural sciences, Longino has brought to the fore the positive and negative ways in which values influence, contribute to, and constrain scientific inquiry. Science is inherently social and the values that shape scientific inquiry are not to be neglected, playing an important role in the very possibility of objectivity in science. This workshop aims to bring together scholars working on and drawing from the work of Helen Longino.
