Today’s episode reflects on the politics of recognition within academic research, particularly concerning practitioner-led work on gestalt language processing. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, details an email from Marge Blanc, originator of the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework, who clarified that the longitudinal research Dr. Hoerricks presented as hypothetical in a previous article had already been completed and published. The core argument centres on the idea that this robust evidence, though meticulously documented through the observation of eighty-five children, remains invisible to the academic “empire” because it was published in accessible formats like parent magazines, rather than exclusive peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Hoerricks asserts that the legitimacy of evidence should be based on its reliability, reproducibility, and demonstrable practice, as is the standard in fields like forensic science, rather than being determined solely by the prestige or venue of publication. Ultimately, she argues that “Published is published,” emphasising that Blanc’s work has achieved validity through its widespread, consistent application in clinical practice, even without formal institutional indexing.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/published-is-published-on-the-visibilityLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
