We will look at our papers and argue for the bits that were sound and should have been acceptable and the parts that never should have passed review. We will show how much of the latter is developed from existing scholarship. I hope to do some of this with @BenjaminABoyce

We will also look at reviews and show where we think reviewers got things right and where they got things very, very wrong. The significance of the reviewer comments is something people seem very confused about.

We are encouraged that so many people and outlets whom we did not expect to respond with balance have done so but there are still some very confused arguments.

These range from arguing that many of our worst arguments were sound and worthy of being published to arguing that peer reviewers were just being kind when they said they supported terrible ideas to arguing that it shows that all scholars and reviewers in the field are terrible.

Obviously, we don't think our deliberately awful arguments were sound. Kindness is great but should not be expressed in ways like "I am supportive of your thesis." Some reviewers managed kind but clear rejections which did not encourage awful ideas. Many did not.

Anyway, we will do some work on this soon and show why we continue to think that there is a serious problem with epistemology & ethics in these fields and why we think our project has helped to highlight what it is & how it works. You can continue to agree or disagree.

We will also be standing by our defense of the university (https://areomagazine.com/2018/03/23/a-principled-defense-of-the-university/ …) of scholarship and of studying race, gender and sexuality (rigorously) and reminding people of what we were delighted that Mother Jones emphasised:pic.twitter.com/s3nBRzmtxF

I hope people (students, lecturers etc) will look back and see what you did as the starting point for a Better discussion on How papers are reviewed and the topics that they cover. A seminal moment, surely?
