Are We All Activists?
主张学者无法避免成为特定价值观的倡导者,并质疑将研究者与活动家角色截然分开的观点,呼吁正视学术中的隐性活动主义。
We scholars cannot be other than advocates of certain values and ideals. Is it good? It depends on what we endorse, openly, tacitly or covertly. You may already be raging against me, ‘accusing’ all scholars of being value-driven activists. But consider, if you are reading these lines, they have passed the rigorous scrutiny of Meyer and Quattrone who recently (2021, p. 1379) wrote in an editorial that it is ‘perilous to conflate’ the roles of researcher and activist. I defend instead here the view that these roles are conflated by design and it is rather perilous not to be aware of our (implicit) activism and the values that guide it.
