Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Materialism and Selection Bias: Political Psychology from a Radical Constructivist Perspective” by Björn Goldstein. Abstract: Too many political scientists cling to notions of objectivity and universality, despite decades of compelling research on intersubjectivity and intersectionality. Now that the pandemic has disrupted normal fieldwork - an exogenous shock - we have opportunities to reassess every aspect of research, from theorization and design to analysis and implications. I stress one overarching issue: the need to integrate gender analysis.
