About the talk
Despite (perhaps in-part because of) the mocking of expertise in recent elections and the replication crisis in social psychology, the 17th century Scientific Revolution is re-emerging; albeit reconfigured as the Open Science movement in calls for open collaboration and digitally mediated open access to study designs, methods, notebooks, data and results. To date, psychologists have largely focused on experiments and the replications of findings, but it is important for us to consider the possibilities for qualitative research as open science. I will do this by weaving three threads of thought; 1) the systemic changes open science is bringing about to the research landscape and how far these reach back in history, 2) the legitimate sensitivities of qualitative data and 3) opportunities available for supporting open qualitative research.
