      Like with everything else associated with your project, I find the public pronouncement to be far more telling indications of intent than the content of the original post, when it comes to figuring out exactly who and what the targets really are.pic.twitter.com/DmgdjloPUT

      I have been fully open about my intent. I have criticised these fields for years before doing the project. I am writing a book about the problem. That's why I did the project. Why do you find it suspicious that people who see a problem somewhere then investigate it?

      I don't want gender studies defunded. I want it made rigorous. I'd actually like to teach it. I understand why people think it is providing nothing worthwhile right now tho.

      Do you react in this way when feminists who have argued a problem to exist somewhere in regards to women's rights then investigate it and test this claim? Would you say 'Your previous statements show your intent to argue that sexism exists. Therefore looking for evidence is bad."

      It depends how they did it. If they mask the full number of trials, ignore all negative results, perform no statistical analysis, fail to disclose funders, avoid peer review and then describe the work as an 'experiment', then yes.

      You are being dishonest. We have revealed all the information in our fact sheet and provided all essays and reviews. We didn't need to mention the ones which failed but we did. What statistical analysis do you want & how would it work? How did we avoid peer review?

      We cannot reveal our funders or our supporters although many have agreed to have their messages of support screencapped with identifying details removed. They fear being fired and dogpiled as racists, sexists & homophobes for wanting this addressed.

      Frankly, I think your donors are right to be concerned about that -- as you yourselves have no doubt experienced personally. But it also seems perfectly fair to be concerned about "dark money" and how may influence research. I can truly see both sides on this question.

      This is astonishing. Who funds the heterodox academy? Why should it matter?

      First, HxA does publically disclose its donors: https://heterodoxacademy.org/about-us/philanthropic-donors/ …. Funding sources are relevant for evaluating research findings, for the reasons described here: https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Academic-Corruption-Works/244703 …. (1/2)

      HxA does have the brave people. I am thinking of setting up a forum for all the academics writing to us now who don't feel able to speak up. I hope if there is enough of them, they will be emboldened to do so. So many of these:pic.twitter.com/14CezOhOD8

          Yes! HxA is currently working on an initiaitve to provide back-channel communications of this sort for people within particular disciplines (starting with psychology and sociology), because there are many people who are sympathetic but don't feel social permission to join.

          If you are already doing this, we might not need to. I will sound out the people I have already suggested it to and who have said they would join.

          Well right now, we only have the capacity to work in three particular fields. We might eventually scale up to others, but they'll always be field-specific. I think there's still need for a general forum for academics across disciplines, etc. But don't have any idea how it'd work

          Heartbreaking to read. Clearly they are passionate about teaching. Need more folks like this.

          Please do that, Helen (or @HdxAcademy)! This is really needed, not just as self-help but also to defend these disciplines against this madness.

          I’m reminded of the point that @DouglasKMurray has made a few times when asked about the challenge of speaking publicly on controversial topics—namely that the water’s really not so bad once one’s in it. He’s spot on.
