I meant that those studies, while also given their own "disciplines," are without question now the basis and hegemon for those degrees as well. Find a sociologist, historian, poli sci, literally any humanities discipline and it is often the framework now.

I watched my discipline change from a mindset of finding truth and knowledge while trying to be as novel as is capable, to "frame this in some sort of intersectional ideation or you won't graduate, you won't keep your job, or you won't be published."

Here’s the thing: there is a lot of validity in the idea that objectivity is often an illusion. Research shows us this. Science confirms this. So it’s important to factor in things like bias, power, history....without losing sight of truth.

I don't think the approach of Identity Studies helps us to do this at all, though. It just replaces one orthodoxy with another. If it's difficult to achieve objectivity, a smug certainly that you KNOW the right way to approach things is counterproductive.

Yes. But the modern concept— that science is biased, that observers influence results (a quantum age observation, btw), that bias creeps into data/interpretation—these things didn’t originate in identity studies. And one philosophy’s flaws and hysteria don’t negate that truth.

I don't think there is any such modern concept that science is biased. Nor is that what observers influencing results means. Scientists are biased, of course, but that is a quite different thing and comes under sociology, not science.

If observing influences results in a quantum fashion, it's observation by ANY observer. The amount of melanin pigmentation in the observer's skin or their genitalia, for example, make zero difference.

There’s plenty of research and analysis showing that science data is biased against minorities. In various ways, whether they’re not included in counts, whether false conclusions are made, whether measuring tools/experiments are constructed in a biased manner.

What kind of research and analysis would that be? Presumably not the scientific kind.
