Plot twist: there's actually a spectacular amount of nonsense in all academic fields, and it's only a matter of time before all fields are exposed for being petty, political, and non-rigorous. Even the history of mathematics is filled with terrible ideas passionately defended.

Well, don't. I don't even know how to start going about comparing different kinds of problems in different fields. There's a specific problem going on in this one & we spent a year inside it to see how it worked & reflect it.

Other people are looking at eg, whether bad studies on the dangers of fat have been falsified in the pay of the sugar industry and that's great. I don't think they'd also need to look at a rejection of evidence-based epistemology in identity studies to show that to be a problem.

And obviously, they could only test this in journals which included studies of fat in its scope and we could only test our papers in ones which included identity studies in theirs. That's why we have papers in fields as diverse as geography and social work.
