YouTube videos enter scholarly debate

Creators

When you really want to reach a wide audience, OA is the solution.  But when an OA article in a journal or repository isn't enough, how about an OA video on YouTube?

When Evangelical preacher James Dobson used the scholarship of NYU psychologist Carol Gilligan to argue that same-sex couples should not raise children, Gilligan made a YouTube video to assert that Dobson had distorted and misrepresented her research.

For background, see Paul Thacker, Fighting a Distortion of Research, Inside Higher Ed, December 19, 2006.  Don't miss the comments at the end of the article.
