Hugh Lacey e a busca por uma epistemologia engajada | Hugh Lacey and the search for an engaged epistemology
No full textHugh Lacey (1939) is Research Fellow Emeritus at Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, United States, where began teaching in 1972. He holds a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from Indiana University (USA). He has been a visiting professor at the University of São Paulo on several occasions (1973, 1996, 2000 and 2004). His works assign proper places to values within technoscience, trying to show that the scientific materialist approach needs to assume also the place that things occupy in ecological and social systems. Lacey is the author of several articles and books, among which are Values and Scientific Activity 1, Values and Scientific Activity 2, The GMO Controversy: scientific and ethical issues, among others.Hugh Lacey (1939) es investigador emérito del Swarthmore College (Pensilvania, Estados Unidos), donde empezó a enseñar en 1972.

The role of cognitive and non-cognitive values in scientific practices: the reticulated model by Larry Laudan and the research strategies by Hugh Lacey
No full textA investigação aqui realizada examina o papel que os valores cognitivos e nãocognitivos desempenham nas práticas científicas. Essa análise fundamenta-se em uma comparação entre os modelos propostos por Hugh Lacey e por Larry Laudan para explicar a dinâmica da atividade científica. Veremos que, no modelo desenvolvido por Lacey, cuja idéia central reside nas estratégias de pesquisa, ambos os tipos de valor possuem papéis legítimos na atividade científica. Já no modelo reticulado, proposto por Laudan, o autor admite apenas os valores cognitivos como constituintes da racionalidade científica. A partir de uma comparação entre ambos os modelos, pretendemos mostrar que o modelo de Lacey parece ser mais abrangente do que o modelo reticulado, na medida em que este último poderia ser considerado como uma parte do primeiro.The present investigation examines the role of cognitive and non-cognitive values in scientific practices. This analysis is based on a comparison between the models proposed by Hugh Lacey and Larry Laudan to explain the dynamics of scientific activity. We will see that in Laceys model, whose main idea are the strategies of investigation, both kinds of values have legitimate roles in scientific activity. In the reticulated model, proposed by Laudan, the author admits only cognitive values as constitutive of scientific rationality. Based on a comparison between both models, we will try to show that Laceys model seems broader than the reticulated model, in the sense that the reticulated one could be considered as a part of Laceys model
Novel Dialogue 1.4: Feral Fiction: Catherine Lacey and Martin Puchner (JP)
No full textNovel Dialogue sends Martin Puchner (polymathic author of The Written World and most recently The Language of Thieves) out to speak with Pew author Catherine Lacey. They go a-wandering. Lacey's earlier works include a 2018 collection of short stories, Certain American States, and two novels: The Answers in 2017 and 2014's Nobody is Ever Missing, a delightful road novel set in New Zealand-always a sure way to win John's admiration. Martin starts by noticing the feral through-line in Catherine's work, a way that people escape or withdraw from socialization. And things go rapidly uphill and downhill from there. In short a rollicking rhythm prevails-you may want to listen while out rambling yourself. Even though Catherine proclaims "we are all housecats now.
Linear Regression
No full textThis site, created by Michelle Lacey of Yale University, gives an explanation, a definition and an example of linear regression. Topics include: least-squares, residuals, extrapolation, outliers, and influential observations. Lacey's presentation is thoughtful in its layout. The author intertwines useful graphs within her textual explanations, this makes it accessible for almost any mathematics audience. Overall, this is a useful resource

Infectious agents of racial degeneration: legislating vice, hygiene, and prostitution in the British metropole
No full textNineteenth-century British debates on prostitution and the Contagious Diseases Acts contained racialized rhetoric. In their discussion of white prostitution and the C.D. Acts in the metropole, regulationists and repealers alike utilized disease discourses that indicated not only a moral infection of the prostitutes’ clients, but also racial infection that led to the degeneration of the race. Regulationists advocated state control over women's bodies, because only state intervention could protect military and civilian men from sinful and diseased women. They believed that prostitution was an unfortunate but necessary social evil to be managed, not eradicated. In gathering support, regulationists relied on misogynistic arguments that questioned the racial superiority of white prostitutes. Repealers came to the same racialized conclusions from a different perspective and thus saw different solutions. Repealers argued that men owned women's bodies as well as governed the economy, and were thus responsible for what happened to them, including resorting to prostitution. Repealers believed that prostitution was the great social evil and must be eradicated. Anglo-Saxon mens' immoral sexual choices led to prostitution, which victimized women, and thus men’s racial superiority was called into question. Regulationists made their accusations down the social ladder, a strategy that was par for the course for oppressors controlling the oppressed. Men with every social privilege blaming the inferior race, class, and gender were unsurprising. Repealers, however, inverted that logic and challenged the privileged male regulationists by making their accusations up the social ladder. Whiteness was a social currency that repealers wielded in a subversive way to shape British law in favor of white working class women. By asserting the value of the whiteness of the disenfranchised white groups of women and the working class, repealers gained rights for them by distancing them from the racial Other in an empire built on whiteness. In the British Empire, Anglo-Saxon whiteness served as the currency for social power. By wielding the power of whiteness, repealers transgressed traditional race, class, and gender hierarchies, effected a change in the law, and embarked on a path to establishing further women’s and working class rights in the metropole.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Lacey Spark
