Three academics (two are professors, the third is described as a "UK academic") became concerned by the cult-like ideas taking over academia with regards to things like privilege, gender, and the like.
There's a Google Drive directory with the papers and some general information.
Frighteningly, one of them, Peter Boghossian (a philosophy professor at Portland State University) was the target of an anonymous hit piece in the school newspaper:
As a reminder, the Sokal Affair happened in the late 1990s, and involved a CS professor getting a paper published in a postmodern journal that argued that quantum gravity was a social construct.
Their first paper was published in a pay-to-publish journal. After that, the new strategy was to submit a large sample of papers to "higher-ranked" journals, expecting them to be rejected, and then editing based on received feedback and submitting to "lower-ranked" journals, over and over until they finally got something accepted. They found a reasonably "successful" method of "empirically" proving that their existing hatred of gender & race studies is justified-- just with a bunch of deception, falsified data, and absolutely no control (see Odder's point).
This is a steaming pile of dogshit.
