  Science is under attack and scientists are becoming more involved in efforts to defend it. The rise in science advocacy raises important questions regarding how science mobilization can both defend science and promote its use for the public good while also including the communities that benefit from science. This article begins with a discussion of the relevance of science advocacy. It then reviews research pointing to how scientists can sustain, diversify, and increase the political impact of their mobilization. Scientists, we argue, can build and maintain politically impactful coalitions by engaging with and addressing social group differences and diversity instead of suppressing them. The article concludes with a reflection on how the study of science-related mobilization would benefit from further research.

A semantic analysis of topical diversity in research. Research Policy. ISSN 0048-7333. 50(1). doi: 10.1016/j.respol.2020.104069. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Synthesis centers are a form of scientific organization that catalyzes and supports research that integrates diverse theories, methods and data across spatial or temporal scales to increase the generality, parsimony, applicability, or empirical soundness of scientific explanations. Synthesis working groups are a distinctive form of scientific collaboration that produce consequential, high-impact publications. But no one has asked if synthesis working groups synthesize: are their publications substantially more diverse than others, and if so, in what ways and with what effect? We investigate these questions by using Latent Dirichlet Analysis to compare the topical diversity of papers published by synthesis center collaborations with that of papers in a reference corpus. Topical diversity was operationalized and measured in several ways, both to reflect aggregate diversity and to emphasize particular aspects of diversity (such as variety, evenness, and balance). Synthesis center publications have greater topical variety and evenness, but less disparity, than do papers in the reference corpus. The influence of synthesis center origins on aspects of diversity is only partly mediated by the size and heterogeneity of collaborations: when taking into account the numbers of authors, distinct institutions, and references, synthesis center origins retain a significant direct effect on diversity measures. Controlling for the size and heterogeneity of collaborative groups, synthesis center origins and diversity measures significantly influence the visibility of publications, as indicated by citation measures. We conclude by suggesting social processes within collaborations that might account for the observed effects, by inviting further exploration of what this novel textual analysis approach might reveal about interdisciplinary research, and by offering some practical implications of our results.

  This dissertation examines the lived experiences of migrant food couriers in Norway and how their everyday social practices shape the platform economy at the street level. Drawing on 23 in depth interviews, ethnographic bike alongs, and media analysis, it asks how migrants’ practices sustain platform work and platformization from below. Using social practice theory and the concepts of strangers, infrastructure, and (in)visibility, it identifies four core practices: representational (marginalized media visibility), infrastructural (reliance on migrant networks), mobility (tactics to navigate urban and digital infrastructures), and (in)visibility management (tactics to avoid discrimination or deportation). Empirically, theoretically, and methodologically, the dissertation reframes migrant couriers as active ‘architects’ of the platform economy, documents their precarity within racialized platform capitalism, and urges more inclusive policy and design responses.
