n his book "Social Science for Public Knowledge," by Craig Calhoun discuss the impacts (good and bad) of a more "activist" or community-led scholarship in the social sciences (and by extension, legal studies!).

Is how we evaluate the value of this approach largely dependent on our understanding of scientific "objectivity" and its relationship to authority and truth? What does Calhoun say about these?
