Similar things are happening for other feminist areas in philosophy (feminist epistemology anyone?). Would be interesting to think about why some areas get more attention than others.

Rose Trappes @rosetrappes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
But mainstreaming comes with downsides too. 1) Some things just don't fit the mainstream, and these get left behind. 2) It's harder for feminists to get together and share ideas.

It's great that we're addressing the marginalisation of feminist thought and work. Important, high quality work should get the support it deserves.

Ever noticed that feminist philosophy of science seems to have become sort of... mainstream? Well I did. And I wrote a paper about it. Forthcoming in Ergo, read it here: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/30435/ #philsky

Ali Teymoori and I wrote up a piece for @markrubin.bsky.social's excellent Critical Metascience blog. We summarise our new paper on disciplinary crises in psychology and some of the key take-homes for psychologists.

Psychologists tend to go in for changes to methods and statistics. But we argue these crises point to deeper epistemological issues that need to be addressed for the discipline to progress.

Rose Trappes @rosetrappes.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
We've all heard about the replication crisis in psychology. But psychologists have been calling "crisis" for as long as the discipline has been around. Ali Teymoori and I look at this history and what it means for today's crisis. #philsky doi.org/10.1177/1089...

Inequalities in the funding landscape are actually a major barrier to OA publication. The author-pays model for OA means only those with access to resources get their research out there for all to read for free. OA should become truly open, for authors too! #OpenScience

I especially appreciate the policy to not accuse people of using AI in the comments thread, but to contact the editor instead. The same should apply in peer review.

Instead of thinking about motivation, I'll look at things like epistemic agency, aesthetics, values, individualism, meritocracy and injustices. tl;dr Gamification can be great, but we should be careful about what are set up as values and what expectations people get about their agency

How to conceptualise research environments for transdisciplinary work? How do researchers negotiate such spaces, and with which implications for knowledge produced? @rosetrappes.bsky.social and I answered by proposing the idea of "multiplex research environments"! See: rdcu.be/eN8ie #philsci

We shouldn't be complacent about the status of feminist work in mainstream philosophy of science, especially not today. And it's not just censorship and bans. Cuts to academia all over the place threaten marginalised work and marginalised scholars.
