A branch of sociology that examines how evidence-based orthodoxies are socially constructed, maintained, and challenged within professional communities. The sociology of evidence-based orthodoxy investigates how evidentiary hierarchies become institutionalized through training, how they're maintained through professional standards and funding priorities, how alternative approaches (qualitative research, community knowledge, practitioner experience) are marginalized, and how the orthodoxy responds to challenges from those who question its hierarchy. It also examines the role of evidence-based orthodoxy in professional boundary-work—distinguishing "real" professionals from "quacks," "scientific" practice from "anecdotal" approaches, "legitimate" knowledge from "mere" experience. The sociology of evidence-based orthodoxy reveals that evidentiary hierarchies aren't just about epistemology; they're also about professional power, institutional authority, and the social construction of expertise.
Example: "Her sociology of evidence-based orthodoxy research showed how the hierarchy of evidence serves professional interests—elevating researchers over practitioners, quantitative over qualitative expertise, academic knowledge over community wisdom. The hierarchy isn't just about truth; it's about who gets to say what counts."
