  • Summary

    In light of global crises such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and viral pandemics, scholars increasingly emphasize the epistemic authority of science while embracing its value-laden nature. This chapter challenges this “New Orthodoxy of Value-Laden Science” to engage with the roles of science in enabling environmental destruction and accelerating social inequality, particularly in the Global South. Using examples from agriculture and biodiversity, the chapter highlights contradictions where science is both a solution to and a cause of social-environmental crises. Moving beyond the New Orthodoxy, the chapter advocates for a justice-oriented approach that emphasizes distribution, recognition, and representation to make science not only epistemically but also socially just. This approach emphasizes the need to bridge the gap between critical scholarship and public trust, fostering a science that genuinely serves global justice.
