A plea for empowerment through rational scepticism: a brief rejoinder to Brook
2013
Davis, Anthony | Ruddle, Kenneth
Ryan K. Brook takes issue with our argument that worthwhile social research is obligated to engage rational scepticism, essentially expressed through the design and methodological conduct of research and the questions, concepts and theories informing data analyses, when documenting and representing local ecological knowledge (LEK). Further, he represents our critique as part of “an ongoing simplistic dichotomy” that situates LEK and ‘science’ as oppositional. Indeed, much of the substance of Brook’s commentary is more of a response to analyses we present in several earlier papers, particularly Davis and Ruddle (2010) and Ruddle and Davis (2011), than to the priority foci evident in our Asian Fisheries Science essay (Ruddle and Davis 2013). Nonetheless, we appreciate this opportunity to provide comment on our concerns respecting much of LEK social research, as well as to correct key misrepresentations of these concerns as expressed by Brook.
