Our Continued Commitment to Diversity
Our program remains deeply committed to diversity.
At this moment, it is more important than ever to confirm this commitment and also reiterate our rationale. Diversity in our program is not just about checkbox representation, but about valuing perspectives brought by individuals with different social positions (with attendant advantages and disadvantages), geographic backgrounds, training experiences, and relationships to public health. Our understanding of the world and the problems we face cannot be separated from who we are. This is unequivocally clear in global public health.
We draw on the concept of strong objectivity, the idea in philosophy of science that emphasizes knowledge as a collective process. Unlike the traditional notion of “scientific objectivity,” which believes better science is advanced through the dispassionate, individual inquiry, strong objectivity recognizes that knowledge is a property of an epistemic community — a group of people. Knowledge is then advanced through the diverse viewpoints, based on different social positions, in the right dialogue, that deepens our collective understanding. In short, while our embrace of diversity has many roots, one is as an epistemic mechanism for advancing progress in science and public health.
