Episode 11 - Ivan Flis

Episode 11 - Ivan Flis

This week we had an awesome chat with the super-interdisciplinary Ivan Flis. Ivan is like a cake made from psychology, history, and philosophy of science. This cake was the perfect compliment to our Repro-Tea. There was so much to cover that we will have Ivan back next time too!

Just a few of the amazing resources Ivan mentioned:

Deborah Mayo’s book, Statistical Inference as Severe Testing: How to Get Beyond the Statistics Words, Amy still doesn’t understand what she is really reading though…. (Sam is doing no better) (cambridge.org/core/books/statistical-inference…)

Loads of books Ivan mentions which we could not keep track of but he did recommend two after our conversation:
OPTIMIST: Optimisation Methods in Science and Technology: ruhr-uni-bochum.de/optimist-survey
George Reisch How the Cold War Transformed Philosophy of Science (2005) amazon.co.uk/How-Cold-Transformed-Philosophy-S…

Ivan’s Dissertation “Discipline through method: Recent history and philosophy of scientific psychology (1950-2018)”
dropbox.com/s/amjv3oyu8u09nw2/2018%20thesis%20…

Ivan’s paper about textbooks, Instructional Manual of Boundary-Work: Psychology Textbooks, Student Subjectivities and Disciplinary Historiographies (that's a mouthful!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jhbs.…

The Descartes Centre in Utrecht: uu.nl/en/descartes-centre

Ivan highly recommends to “Read more books”, if you want a starting point he mentions Kurt Danzinger’s Constructing the Subject (1990) cambridge.org/core/books/constructing-the-subj…
