#SokalSquared challenge:
Assume its not self evident the dog park paper is bad. What would a proper peer review look like?
Has anyone done this?

But we wouldn't necessarily complain if they focused their attention on that and didn't also learn about postmodernism and critical theory which drew on that and the epistemology which stems from this. Or about replication in social science. Or some debate over cold fusion.

It is very possible to focus on a single problem which you know about and/or which affects you without asserting that there are no other problems in the world. In academia people do specialise & it is not at all suspicious if they address problems in one field and not every field

I don't have any particular sympathies to the academic or political tendencies you critique, btw. As an outsider, tho, you look like you're imagining a bigger target than you're hitting.
-
Where? What did we say that made you come to this conclusion?
-
Putting aside the debates about how you arrive at your assessments, the tendencies you guys decry are a much smaller enclave of the university than you think, and more importantly, that ppl reading your work will be lead to believe.
-
Show this, then. I've spent several years documenting with evidence what I am worried about.
-
Sure. Here's a more superficial one, but the impact factors of the journals you cite are all under <5. Gender, Place, and Culture has a 1.0something. They may have high within-field influence (for argument's sake), but university or humanities-wide? Not so.
-
That would only be a good argument if we'd claimed the problem to be within the whole university or humanities and not been very clear that we are not saying that.I asked for evidence we that we are saying it is a bigger problem, not stuff consistent with us saying it is specific
