Leaks of Experience: The Link between Science and Knowledge?

I think there is a challenge and it does not lie in an abstraction called social science, nor in the nature of academic institutions or a male power structure.

What is the nature of the self, the “I,” that so many of our prohibitions bury? How can we unearth some of the inner worlds that we learn so very well to hide? Are we willing to do this within social science? Do we, in fact, have the guts to say, “You may not like it, but here I am.”
