From NRO:
Three academics spent more than a year submitting absurd “hoax” papers to the preeminent journals focusing on race, gender, sexuality and other politically fraught disciplines that fall into what the perpetrators of the scheme call “grievance studies.”
The self-identified “left-leaning liberal” academics, told the Wall Street Journal they undertook the project out of concern “that certain aspects of knowledge production in the United States have been corrupted” by a hesitance among academics to question research based on privilege and identity for fear of accusations of bigotry.
Afilia, a peer-reviewed feminist journal, accepted one of their papers, “Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism,” which is a rewrite of one chapter of “Mein Kampf.” https://www.nationalreview.com/news...-field-by-submitting-hoax-papers-to-journals/
:lamo This reminded me of the Dr. Fox Hypothesis, which I first read about in Psychology Today decades ago:
