It’s one of the most well respected and influential journals in the field. Where else are these fields going to inform themselves other than top tier scholarship?
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

Gender, Place and Culture is the top feminist geography journal. We have been very clear that we are not criticising the field of geography but subdisciplines which approach it from a grievance studies perspective.pic.twitter.com/yBwc18RrBS

Why are you so determined to have a problem with our project when I have shown you evidence to answer all your concerns? It feels as though you want this to be bad somehow, even tho you have said you don't have sympathies with this kind of scholarship.
-
LOL, I'm not so determined. Like you say, I don't have a dog in this. But big-picture, my greatest concern is collateral damage to public perception of hum/soc sci inquiry (writ large), esp. by conservatives who are attacking the institution with a new vengeance.
-
What would be the right way to address the problem we see? Should we not address it at all? How can it be fixed? Do you not think refusing to acknowledge a problem in our own fields and own political side can only weaken credibility of fields and left?
-
My own way is to instantiate critique by doing the scholarship in what you consider the right way and win over converts to your paradigm and way of approaching things. Ultimately, academic influence is about persuasion.
-
Don't you think we tried that!? I was told I was problematic and would have failed if I didn't produce what was wanted. One of us is forbidden from raising the issue in academia at all. We couldn't get published. We have still addressed it directly outside the academy.
-
Like I said, and like Kuhn observed, paradigms are more often than not hardened, intractable, and maintained by stubborn gatekeepers. (What's new?) But the academy is large enough now that you can be rejected by one quadrant and accepted by another.
