一种关心知识生产的方法被描述为认识论上的激进，伦理上至关重要的，并培养研究人员和研究对象之间的持续责任。本文通过聚焦于加州大学戴维斯分校(University of California，Davis)第一个大规模实验比格犬聚居地--一个自称的比格犬乌托邦(1951-86年)--中关怀的矛盾角色来检验这些论点。我们认为，关爱是小猎犬群体的核心；动物对研究人员的回应重塑了生活环境，爱和善良是招聘员工时的重要考虑因素。然而，我们最终证明，关怀关系被用来制造顺从，防止实验预定的目的受到干扰。然而，我们并没有暗示戴维斯如果有更好的护理，在伦理上会少一些麻烦，或者在认识论上会更激进，然而，我们认为这个案例困扰了现有的护理理论，并认为需要对历史、背景和排除给予更多的关注。
A caring approach to knowledge production has been portrayed as epistemologically radical, ethically vital and as fostering continuous responsibility between researchers and research-subjects. This article examines these arguments through focusing on the ambivalent role of care within the first large-scale experimental beagle colony, a self-professed beagle utopia' at the University of California, Davis (1951-86). We argue that care was at the core of the beagle colony; the lived environment was re-shaped in response to animals speaking back' to researchers, and love' and kindness' were important considerations during staff recruitment. Ultimately, however, we show that care relations were used to manufacture compliancy, preventing the predetermined ends of the experiment from being troubled. Rather than suggesting Davis would have been less ethically troubling, or more epistemologically radical, with better' care, however, we suggest the case troubles existing care theory and argue that greater attention needs to be paid to histories, contexts, and exclusions.
