Undercover Academics Prove Bias: Multiple FAKE Research Papers on Gender and Feminism Were Published as Truth!All three told the Wall Street Journal they consider themselves "left-leaning liberals, Pluckrose defines herself as a "secular, liberal humanist," and Lindsey's author biography says he "thinks everybody is wrong about God." Yet they object that "scholarship based less upon finding truth and more upon attending to social grievances has become firmly established, if not fully dominant" in several humanities fields, with so-called scholars "bully[ing] students, administrators, and other departments into adhering to their worldview."
Aero Magazine editor Helen Pluckrose, mathematician James Lindsay, and Portland State University philosophy professor Peter Boghossian detail at Aero a year-long project in which they submitted "outlandish or intentionally broken" papers to leading peer-reviewed journals to test the journals' rigor and biases. All three told the Wall Street Journal they consider themselves "left-leaning liberals, Pluckrose defines herself as a "secular, liberal humanist," and Lindsey's author biography says he "thinks everybody is wrong about God." Yet they object that "scholarship based less upon finding truth and more upon attending to social grievances has become firmly established, if not fully dominant" in several humanities fields, with so-called scholars "bully[ing] students, administrators, and other departments into adhering to their worldview." So the trio set out to submit their hoax papers to journals "associated with fields of scholarship loosely known as 'cultural studies' or 'identity studies' (for example, gender studies) or 'critical theory,'" all of which they have dubbed "grievance studies" for their "common goal of problematizing aspects of culture in minute detail in order to attempt diagnoses of power imbalances and oppression rooted in identity." The team took care to ensure their submissions "blend[ed] in almost perfectly" with real literature, while at the same time taking "risks to test certain hypotheses such that the fact of their acceptance itself makes a statement about the problem we're studying." "The goal was always to use what the existing literature offered to get some little bit of lunacy or depravity to be acceptable at the highest levels of intellectual respectability within the field," they write. "Therefore, each paper began with something absurd or deeply unethical (or both) that we wanted to forward or conclude. We then made the existing peer-reviewed literature do our bidding in the attempt to get published in the academic canon." This process produced twenty papers, including one about observing "rape culture" among canine behavior in a dog park; one claiming "the reason super-intelligent AI is potentially dangerous is because it is being programmed to be masculinist and imperialist using Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Lacanian psychoanalysis"; a "feminist astronomy" paper arguing the science of astronomy is "intrinsically sexist"; and even a chapter of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf rewritten with "fashionable buzzwords" to make it about feminism. The authors add that their work presented "very shoddy methodologies including incredibly implausible statistics," claims not warranted by the data," and "ideologically-motivated qualitative analyses"; advocated "highly dubious ethics" such as "punishing white male college students for historical slavery by asking them to sit in silence in the floor in chains during class"; and incorporated "considerable silliness"... Yet most of it was taken seriously. Ultimately, they succeeded in getting seven of their twenty papers accepted, four of which were published online. Seven were either resubmitted after requests for revisions or awaiting review. Only six of the twenty were rejected entirely as "fatally flawed or beyond repair"...
