Grievance studies is a methodology that gets applied in varying degrees in various disciplines, I think. I'd say gender studies, for example, is perhaps 95% taken by it, or more. Sociology far less, maybe 30% to guess from my reading, but it's hard to say without further review.

Because that is less hacking the system as playing to its existing biases to show they exist for those who think everything is just fine.

That sounds a lot like hacking to me.

Maybe I don't understand hacking then! Does the analogy acknowledge that the problem is already inherent in the system and it's not that we introduced things they wouldn't normally have published?

So instead of exposing a field like econ that is used as justification for policies of austerity (with the negative impact on a lot of lives) you decided to go for some obscure sub-subdisciplines like fat studies to own the postmodernists?

I am not an economist. I am a student of the humanities with knowledge of postmodernism and literary theory. I support economists taking issue with any problem they see in their own field and hope they'd support doing so in mine.
