A subfield that studies the anti‑pseudoscience movement as a social actor—its history, strategies, institutional bases, and effects. It examines how the category “pseudoscience” is used to draw boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate science, how anti‑pseudoscience campaigns are organized, and how they intersect with [professional] interests (e.g., medicine vs. [alternative medicine]). The sociology of anti‑pseudoscience also analyzes the unintended [consequences] of these campaigns, such as the stigmatization of minority healing traditions or the reinforcement of scientism. It takes a critical but empirically grounded look at the social dynamics of demarcation.
