So @contextsmag is deeply committed to hard sell of Dolezal. They flog their piece again in connection to Tuvel https://www.facebook.com/contextsmag/posts/10155324430079732 …

Why does
#sociology publication feverishly publicise 2 articles that reproduce racism & transphobia but dismiss other POC race scholars?
NYT defence of Tuvel which @contextsmag promotes is by a White cisgender man who cries academic freedom whilst dismissing minority scholars.

"Transracialism" posts [Dolezal in
@contextsmag; Tuvel in Hypatia; Hypatia & Contexts editors & NYT defence of Tuvel] have 1 thing in common -
They ignore the scholarship of
#POC & transgender researchers who have been working to dismantle White supremacy & transphobia in academia. -
Cisgender men & White women feminists swing the "academic freedom" argument like a club, aiming to squash minority scholars as "insidious"
-
Many
#POC anti-racism & transgender scholars have pointed out probs of "transracialism" - poorly theorised concept lacking empirical rigour -
In
#sociology we must see that groups least likely to succeed in our field -#POC & transgender people - are targets of bad science. -
So while sociologists with race & gender privilege argue academic freedom (for some), this gatekeeping supports inequality in our discipline
-
Bad
#sociology should never be tolerated. Informed critique by minority sociologists, whether in class, on campus or social media, is valid.
