About Speciety
Speciety aims to provide a space for analysis and discussion of developments in the areas of science, politics, education, and society. With an emphasis on both contributing to ongoing dialogue and starting new discussions on overlooked and neglected issues, the site is intended to host research notes and insights and investigative journalistic articles on different topics. Recognizing the inherent bond between research and education, it also crucially serves as a platform for sharing teaching materials that motivate curiosity, critical engagement, inquiry, and understanding of phenomena in the world.
