How can scientific objectivity benefit from citizen participation?

Prof Stéphanie Ruphy (Department of Philosophy, Ecole Normale Supérieure - Université PSL)

Given the importance of the issue of scientific objectivity in our democratic societies and the significant development of citizen science, it is crucial to investigate how citizen science may either undermine or foster scientific objectivity. I will identify in this talk a variety of epistemic risks and benefits that participation of lay citizens in scientific inquiries may bring. I will also discuss concrete actions and pending issues that should be addressed in order to foster objectivity in citizen science programs.
