A framework for understanding science as always from some perspective—never from nowhere, always from somewhere. Perspectivist Science recognizes that all scientific knowing is situated: shaped by the researcher's location, values, training, and commitments. There's no view from nowhere, no value-free science. But situated doesn't mean biased—it means located. And locations can be compared, combined, critiqued. Perspectivist Science studies how perspective shapes research, how to integrate multiple perspectives, and how to build scientific knowledge that acknowledges its own situatedness.
