Like many other qualitative social scientists went on to suggest in the science wars in the 1980-1990s, MacIntyre is critical of the supposed neutrality (and ascendance) of the 20th century data-driven researcher and bureaucrat. Against anyone’s expectations at the time, the science wars seem to have been won by qualitative researchers – and we see a marvelous array of highly focused and grounded studies in contemporary practical theology (commensurate with many other disciplines such as education, business, anthropology and even with economics, sociology, and politics). This focus on practices and practitioners in the context of their local communities has come to be a hallmark of contemporary practical theology. I will suggest in this paper that this grounded focus may have ascended to a position of hegemony and argue that the discipline of practical theology, if it is to continue to work with “empirical data” now needs to develop more robust quantitative skills and studies in triangulation with qualitative studies. I will even attempt to test whether there may be a theological rationale for such a position, in light of the critique(s) which have been sustained by MacIntyre, Hauerwas and Milbank of social gospel and social science. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/presentations/201801_cambridge_energy.md b/content/presentations/201801_cambridge_energy.md new file mode 100755 index 0000000..fd36170 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/presentations/201801_cambridge_energy.md @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +--- +date: 2018-01-30T12:00:00+01:00 +title: "Slow energy policy in a time of global emergencies" +host: "In Search of ‘Good’ Energy Policy seminar, Univ. of Cambridge" +publishdate: 2017-03-10 +--- + +I'm very much looking forward to delivering a paper at Cambridge on 30 January 2018.
