Ethical and social risks of harm from Language Models (2021, background): “Philosophical challenges have been brought against the idea that there is an objective truth that can be discovered in the first place (Haraway, 1988; Harding, 1987; Hill Collins and Denzin, 2003; Hookway, 1990; Luper, 2004).”
Qualitative Psychology: Introducing Radical Research (2004, background): “The position of the researcher is not a clear ‘standpoint’ which gives one clear view of things to be compared with the others, and the fixing of an explanation from any particular standpoint can be a way of covering things over (Harding 1987).”
Learning critical feminist research: A brief introduction to feminist epistemologies and methodologies (2019, methodology): “Accordingly, with no distinctive feminist method (Harding, 1987), one cannot claim that qualitative methods (e.g. semi-structured interviews) are inherently ‘feminist’, or that quantitative methods (e.g. survey measures) are ‘unfeminist’.”
ORES (2019, background): “r take on decoupling draws on feminist standpoint epistemology, which often critiques a single monolithic “God’s eye view” or “view from nowhere” and emphasizes accounts from multiple positionalities [53, 54]. Similar calls drawing on this work have been made in texts like the Feminist Data Set Mani”
Gender, Language and Discourse (2002, background): “However, in her early work on gender, language and communication, Henley (1977) recognised that the language of science had often been used to justify the dominant social and moral order.”
