Professor Cláudio Pinheiro was invited by the Social Science Research Committee (SSRC) and the MacArthur Foundation to develop a pilot program on Ethics in Science.
The project analyzes how criteria for measuring scientific reputations used by funding agencies reinforce inequalities and exclusion mechanisms in science.
The investigation prioritizes collaborative research concepts, between groups of researchers, organized in transnational and interdisciplinary teams, and includes archival research, interviews and analysis of macro-indicators on the Indian Ocean.
