Science of Social Knowledge
Longino's first book examines feminist and social epistemologies. She argues science is based on an individual's perspectives, and because most don't share the same experiences, overtime, individual biases are removed from research as it is carried out by multiple individuals. She argues Science is Objective. Fuller, S. (1993). Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry. Helen E. Longino. Philosophy of Science, 60(2), 360–362. https://doi.org/10.1086/289740 -
The Fate of Knowledge
In her second book, Longino argues against the common idea that social experiences produce a source of bias in scientific research. Instead, she believes social influence experienced separately by individuals eliminate such biases by providing different points of views at scale. Helen E. Longino, . The Fate of Knowledge..

Studying Human Behavior
Longino publishes her third book, "Studying Human Behavior: How Scientists Investigate Aggression and Sexuality." Longino surveys a number of scientific approaches to studying human aggression and sexuality and analyses bias that may be present. She argues for pluralism, accounting of the different approaches to the topic. Video: https://youtu.be/dZcZ7JIyACc Helen E. Longino, . Studying Human Behavior.. University of Chicago Press, 2013. -
