The application of Critical Theory to what counts as evidence in science—examining how evidentiary standards are established, who benefits, and what forms of evidence are marginalized. Critical Theory of Scientific Evidence asks: Why is quantitative evidence privileged over qualitative? Why are some forms of testimony dismissed? Who decides what counts as good evidence? How have evidentiary standards been used to exclude marginalized knowers? It doesn't reject evidence but insists that evidentiary standards are never neutral—they're shaped by power, history, and context.
