Really interesting article on the darker history of Galton, Pearson, and Fisher. Provides some suggestions for how you can broach it in statistics curricula and link to modern problems like biases in AI.

Also links to subjective biases as I never knew how shitty some of their eugenics research was.

bartlettje,

@deboraha Excellent! There’s a full appendix with a bunch of other resources to point to too :)

bartlettje,

@drghirlanda Oh wow, that's wild. That's what surprised me from this article. I knew it was all racist/classist, but I thought it at least had something clever to back it up. Not just "look at all these rich white folk, must be in the family"...

bartlettje,

@drghirlanda That's interesting. They pick up on that in the article. The author highlights that as a discussion point, then has a section on scientists who pushed back on the ideas at the time.

bartlettje,

@MattCrumpLab oh that’s awesome, thanks! Will definitely check it out.

    bartlettje,

    @1010is10 @rstats We currently have a R Markdown version called webexercises, but @debruine and @HelenaPaterson are just developing a Quarto version: https://psyteachr.github.io/posts/2023-06-23.html

    bartlettje,

    @1010is10 @rstats @debruine @HelenaPaterson To be clearer, webexercises is what you use to create activities etc. (https://psyteachr.github.io/webexercises/), but they’re developing a Quarto book template it integrates with nicely

    bartlettje,

    @1010is10 @rstats @debruine @HelenaPaterson you can make it as complicated as you need. For example, one of our books I’m developing has these kind of questions for independent activities which uses the package in the background: https://bartlettje.github.io/statsresdesign/introduction-to-bayesian-estimation.html#independent-activity-brandt-et-al.-2014
