        Subject: Hacking quote identified

Dear all

one of the editors of the volume in which I found the Hacking quote has
explained. The quote is from Hacking's conference presentation which was
the origin of the volume but this did not make it into his chapter for
the book.

I will cite it as follows

“look at the numbers, their authors, their methods, their interests,
etc. Always, I say, work on the ground floor”   (Ian Hacking comment at
the Objectivity Conference, Vancouver in 2010, quoted in Harding 2015 : 38)


Harding, Sandra. 2015. "Objectivity for Sciences from Below." In
Objectivity in Science: New Perspectives from Science and Technology
Studies, edited by Flavia Padovani, Alan Richardson and Jonathan Y.
Tsou, 35-55. Cham: Springer International Publishing.
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-14349-1_3.

I hope this helps. One small piece of bibliographic noise less in the world.
