Sociology of Evidence-Based Orthodoxy

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."

That's base

Alternative to "that's sick" or "that's cool"

Rather than saying "that was sick", you can say "that's base"

Social Sciences of Evidence-Based Practices

A field that studies evidence‑based practice (EBP) as a social and institutional phenomenon—examining how evidence hierarchies are constructed, how EBP is implemented in medicine, education, and policy, and how it affects professional autonomy, patient care, and social equity. The social sciences of EBP ask: who decides what counts as “evidence”? How do randomized controlled trials become the gold standard? What kinds of knowledge (qualitative, experiential, indigenous) are systematically excluded? It reveals that EBP, despite its scientific veneer, is a social movement with its own politics, interests, and unintended consequences.

Social Sciences of Evidence-Based Practices Example: “Her research in the social sciences of evidence‑based practices showed that requiring RCT evidence for all interventions disadvantaged treatments developed for rare or marginalized populations—not because they were less effective, but because they were harder to fund.”

Sociology of Evidence-Based Practices

A subfield that applies sociological analysis to the rise, implementation, and consequences of evidence‑based practice (EBP) in fields like medicine, education, and social work. It examines how evidence hierarchies are constructed, how EBP reshapes professional autonomy, how it affects patient‑provider relationships, and how it interacts with social inequalities. The sociology of EBP asks: who benefits from the EBP movement? What kinds of knowledge are systematically excluded? How does EBP change the politics of expertise? It reveals that EBP is not a purely technical improvement but a social intervention with winners and losers.

Sociology of Evidence-Based Practices Example: “Her sociology of evidence‑based practices research showed that requiring manualized treatments in community mental health reduced clinicians’ ability to adapt care to individual patients—an unintended consequence of standardization.”

MLB on base drools

The mlb rules for on base record does not include getting on base for an error which is a bad rule. More like on base drools. Stupid rule that drolls

Example of an mlb on base drools.
Ohtani got on base for the 50th straight game but not as a result of getting on because of an Error. Apparently getting on base due to defense error doesn’t could as getting on base. Let’s just ignore the fact that he got on base. This is a case of a bad rule, more like mlb on base drolls
