The Banned Methods of Social Science: How Institutions Suppress Discovery in the Name of Rigor argues that modern social science has quietly traded intellectual discovery for institutional convenience. Despite centuries of methodological innovation, the field now treats a narrow set of "gold standard" methods as synonymous with rigor, marginalizing exploratory, hybrid, and disruptive approaches that do not fit bureaucratic templates. Drawing on epistemology, sociology of knowledge, and lived experience inside academic systems, the book reveals how funding regimes, peer review, doctoral training, and ethics oversight operate as soft prohibition mechanisms, rendering many powerful ways of knowing effectively "banned" without ever being outlawed. This is not an attack on rigor, but a challenge to its institutional capture, and a call to recover methodological imagination as a prerequisite for genuine discovery.
