DC: A professor involved with handing in hoax papers — with topics ranging from rape culture in dog parks to rewriting a feminist version of a portion of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” — to leading social science journals says his university in Oregon is trying to punish him.
Portland State University (PSU) assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian is being investigated for falsifying data, according to a YouTube video released by Mike Nayna on Saturday.
“The matter has been escalated to PSU’s President & Provost for disciplinary action,” according to the YouTube video.
Boghossian along with mathematician James Lindsey and Areo Magazine editor Helen Pluckrose sent 20 papers under aliases to social science journals to show the reality of “grievance studies.” Grievance studies is a coined term for academic fields that focus on identity related oppression and power imbalances. Such fields include “critical theory,” “gender studies” and “identity studies.”
Feminist journal Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work and Gender, Place & Culture were two of the journals that accepted the researchers’ papers. The journals ended up removing the research upon finding out they were fake. MORE HERE
Somehow I don’t see anyone giving a flying flip about his punishment.
Boo effing hoo.
I’m glad he outed this stuff as bullshit.
What he did was not “falsifying data” but actual research.
Hope he’s got a good lawyer.
I remember these guys from a few years ago. They were very honest about what they did. They were exposing the hypocrisy of the “science” journals for publishing papers they hadn’t reviewed. So now the professor must be punished.
you will now feel the wrath of fake science and love it.
we know we do. and since you hurt our feeling by exposing us as fakers we will punish you with more fake science, so FAKE YOU!
Harvard should hire him to tutor young Master Hogg.
I blame Satan.
