Dr. Risjord used his time at the University of Pittsburgh Center for
Philosophy of Science to work on a book project, tentatively titled
Impartial Inquiry: A Defense of Scientific Value-Freedom. Using 20th
century sociology of racial residential segregation as a running case
study, the book argues for impartiality as a norm of inquiry. It argues
that while political values may properly motivate scientific questions, but
they ought never influence the acceptability of the answers. The book aims
to show that arguments against the value-free ideal generally highlight
useful kinds of criticism of scientific practice, but such criticism is
consistent with—and sometimes strengthened by—the norm of impartiality.
Previous publications that are relevant to this project include “*Thick
Concepts and Impartiality*
