DESCRIPTION:The Method\, Theory\, and Reality Speaker Series has a talk this upcoming Thursday\, April 17th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm EST:\n<p><br>Karen Kovaka (UC San Diego)\, "What Is Meta-Analysis Good For?"<br><br>Abstract: There is an ongoing debate about the quality of the evidence that meta-analysis provides. But both critics and defenders of meta-analysis generally assume that the core purpose and contribution of meta-analysis is to tell us what the evidence really says about the existence and magnitude of causal relationships\, to extract conclusions that agree from datasets that do not. I argue that while delivering such information about cause-and-effect relationships is the most common use of meta-analysis\, this is only an application of the tool\, and that its primary epistemic role of meta-analysis is something else entirely: to help us explore and understand variation among populations of studies.<br><br><strong>Zoom Link:</strong>&nbsp\;https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/j/93437787423&nbsp\;</p>\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIf you have technical difficulties\, contact Jenn McDonald at&nbsp\;jrc2266@columbia.edu</a>.\n&nbsp\;\nMTR&nbsp\;showcases work from early career philosophers in&nbsp\;philosophy&nbsp\;of science\, epistemology\, and metaphysics.&nbsp\; Please share this series with others who are interested in&nbsp\;philosophy&nbsp\;of science\, epistemology\, and metaphysics.&nbsp\; And follow us on Facebook or follow our webpage (both below) for information about upcoming talks and events.\n<br>\nFacebook Page:&nbsp\;https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090896854260</a>\n\n\nWebsite:&nbsp\;https://www.cruzdavis.com/method-theory-reality/upcoming-events</a>
