Bennett Holman, logic & philosophy of science graduate student, has been selected
to present his research at the British Society for the Philosophy of Science annual
conference July 5-6 at the University of Stirling, Scotland. The paper he will present
examines more than a century of medical history and finds that there is nothing new
in either the impulse to base medicine on evidence or the concern over commercial
influences on medical knowledge. He finds that developments in research methodology
do not arise spontaneously, but as attempts to assert authority and corral commercial
imperatives in ways that yield reliable knowledge.
Holman received his undergraduate degree in biopsychology and cognitive science from the University of Michigan and his master's in clinical developmental psychology from York University in Toronto.
