Le Texier’s book is an engrossing read. His forensic research and telling of the real story of the #StanfordPrisonexperiment is a great contribution to the history of psychology. #histpsych #philsci #socialpsych
A French science historian dug deep into the true story of the Stanford prison experiment – revealing ‘guards’ were actually coached to be brutal. His findings are now available in English.
The infamous Stanford prison experiment was flawed – so why is it still so influential today?

Yay for this acknowledgement of the qualitative approach and it’s ability to capture the motivations of people behind the science. #HistPsych
The American Psychological Association just spotlighted an article written by Mike Stuart on the use of qualitative methods to study scientific imagination. This is a rare honour, and big win for qualitative-empirical philosophy of science! Read more here: t.ly/kj-Gr
Special section: Studying science “in the wild”
