- Title
A deficit in shared practice: Reflections on Latour's "Down to Earth".
- Authors
Furtak, Erin Marie; Stroupe, David
- Abstract
By now, Latour's work is familiar to many scientists, science studies scholars, and science educators. i Latour's studies of practicing scientists establish that science is a human-created endeavor, with cultures, epistemologies, tools, and meanings constructed across space and time. Latour locates his new argument about science practice and power in relation to global patterns of human migration, nationalist movements, and climate change. Nevertheless, we recognize that Latour's perspectives inspire us, as science educators, to "double down" on science-as-practice, while continuously acknowledging the role of human construction and the legacy of those practices (which have harmed the earth and great populations of its occupants), as well as providing opportunities for students to learn - and also transform - those practices (Warren & Rosebery, [50]).
