interesting take-away from Geertz: that work can be neither objective nor subjective...not something you hear often...

If objective claims are seen as those that has been rigorously publically tested and met procedural standards, and are mostly coming from academia and higher institutions which are notoriously racist and perpetuators of inequalities, than how is even that definition of objectivity flawed? It continues to privilege certain voices over others and maintain power structures on what is considered truth even if those believed truths can later change.

I think objectivity is trying to seek knowledge by describing things as clearly as we can while recognizing that we all have our own histories that influence the way we see things.

Truth is the accumulation of multiple truths.

Objectivity is the accumulation of multiple perspectives.

Instead of a discreet value, instead of arriving at Truth, we'll get closer and closer to it.

Research cannot be objective, however, we can do our best to explicitly state our bias.

We cannot be truly objective; but just because we can't does not mean that our research is subjective. Our methods and analysis gives our research validity and moves us towards objectivity. I think?

Objective research does not necessarily create truth.

I wonder if we need to work on re-defining the idea of objectivity...should we think of it as something we're working toward, or oriented toward, not necessarily achieving in fullness?

One thing I was thinking about is that the researcher can't ever be objective, but methodology can help us approximate objectivity.

# data[].attributes.body
the fact that it is based on data might be the key here. Objectivity really isn't objective.

To what extent is objectivity just about posturing as distant/objective/unbiased (even by way of supposedly recognizing bias)?

# data[].attributes.body
No, it cannot, because it is produced by humans. But that doesn't mean we abandon the idea of striving for objectivity, while acknowledging it is unattainable.

# data[].attributes.body
...Just kidding. I think objectivity refers to "best practices" within a community of researchers, an attempt to "make moves" based on the best knowledge available at a given point in time.

Research can not be truly objective. It can strive towards high levels of objectivity. Objective and subjective are not dichotomies, rather they are a continuum.
