And then there’s the coup de grace: a paper, already published in Gender, Place & Culture, which claims to be based on in situ observation of canine rape culture in a Portland dog park. 9/npic.twitter.com/NzBH1qpJGD
The authors rightly emphasize that topics like race, gender, or sexuality should be the object of serious study. Their problem is that the kind of bullshit that now counts as scholarship in some quarters of the academy does not constitute anything like that. 10/npic.twitter.com/5fxFn5Cav4
Most likely, the authors will be denounced. Most likely, these areas of "scholarship" won't change. Most likely, deans will keep pretending that their emperor are fully clothed. But after today, there's no more excuse for calling this bullshit out when you see it. 11/11
(for *not* calling this bullshit out when you see it.)
Sorry, folks. I loosely used "scores" to mean "lots." The stats as I understand them:
Out of 20 papers
7 accepted for publication
7 in process (e.g. R&R, etc.)
6 rejected
Impressive.
To show you how seriously the hoaxers take the truth, @HPluckrose was first to point this out.
Last point: Where these "major" journals? These weren't the *best* journals in sociology or poli sci. They won't get you tenure in traditional fields at most Ivies. It's worth stating the obvious: by and large, academia remains a serious search for truth. (Contd.)
*But* I do stand by the claim that they were "major" journals in their fields. If you want to get tenure in newer departments, like Gender Studies, at serious liberal arts colleges or well-known research universities, publication in these journals will help. A lot. (Contd.)
And that's the crucial point. Though most parts of academia retain serious intellectual standards, Sokal Squared suggests that you can now be made a professor, and get to teach college kids, by spewing absurd, ideological bullshit. Anyone who waves that off is in deep denial.
What’s been caught is a spirit, mood or temperament - easy to disavow - how many reflective pieces are written by conservatives when investigators find police officers sending racist jokes in their emails?
More responses like this from liberals could actually persuade me that liberal thought is not dead yet.
Oh my god You think student-edited journals are more reputable than peer reviewed anything. Honey, bow out of this discussion you are unqualified to participate
