Not So Irrelevant: The Epistemic Significance of Social Identity

Dialogue
AbstractOur social identity affects what we believe. But, how should we epistemically evaluate this doxastic impact? Achieving a robust picture of the epistemic significance of social identity requires us to explore the understudied intersection of irrelevant influences and standpoint epistemology, which leads us to cases of double higher-order ...

Green Transition, Extractive Continuities: Lithium Mining and the Environmental Contradictions of Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global decarbonization has positioned lithium as a strategic mineral for electric vehicles, battery storage, and low‐carbon development. Yet its extraction raises serious environmental, political, and justice concerns that complicate dominant narratives of clean energy progress.

From hypothesis testing toward inference to the best explanation: A PEEBI testimonial structure for abductive studies in strategy

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Though scholars employ abduction, there is no agreed‐upon structure to reporting their findings. Moreover, the traditional hypo‐deductive reasoning structure does not align with the epistemology of abduction. We propose an abductive testimonial structure, termed PEEBI, which consists of five sections in which the authors take ...

Smart molecular design of NIR‐II organic fluorophores through self‐driven iterative evolution, deep learning, and fragment‐based assembly

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A smart design strategy for NIR‐II organic fluorophores is proposed by combining self‐driven Iterative evolution, deep Learning, and fragment‐based assembly. This work establishes a broadly applicable approach for molecular design, accelerating the discovery of NIR‐II fluorophores and extending to optoelectronic materials and therapeutic compounds ...

Emergent Innovation in Systemic Programme Design: Retrospective Reflections on the Development of a Student‐Centred Masters in Systems Thinking

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our theory of education, based on a systemic understanding of the subjective and intersubjective construction of knowledge, is that students are motivated to study what is most meaningful to them. Meaningfulness is grounded in the students' prior experiences, which are highly diverse.

From Map Follower to Navigator: Archetypes of Environmental Impact Assessment

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental impact assessment (EIA) scholarship is commonly framed as a tension between efficiency and comprehensiveness paradigms. These paradigms describe a persistent tension but cannot explain how EIA operates through it. Drawing on social systems theory, this analysis traces that operation.

An Outline of a Theory of Play

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

Managing Robot Perception: How Families Present Their Faces to a Toy Robot

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Playing with a robot's face detection capabilities constitutes a praxeological approach to learning about new technology. We explore how family members discover suitable formations for a Cozmo robot to scan a single face, drawing on video recordings from Swedish homes. Taking an ethnomethodology and conversation‐analysis perspective, we demonstrate how
