Abstract
We scholars cannot be other than advocates of certain values and ideals. Is it good? It depends on what we endorse, openly, tacitly or covertly. You may already be raging against me, ‘accusing’ all scholars of being value-driven activists. But consider, if you are reading these lines, they have passed the rigorous scrutiny of Meyer and Quattrone who recently (2021, p. 1379) wrote in an editorial that it is ‘perilous to conflate’ the roles of researcher and activist. I defend instead here the view that these roles are conflated by design and it is rather perilous not to be aware of our (implicit) activism and the values that guide it.
