Science as Social Knowledge
Helen Longino wrote a book named "Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry". This book was a major contribution in tying literature from philosophy of science in with the social studies of science. Her point of view was that science is built on social values and diversity.

Contextual Empiricism
This was Helen's idea proposed in Science as Social Science that scientific principles were based on an individual's social values and that this could be incorporated into the scientific method. She believed that somebody's point of view or diversity allowed them to decide where data collected would apply to a hypothesis. -
