>There is a strange contradiction among scientists: Science is supposedly about asking questions, except about scientists and how science is done.
—Prescod‐Weinstein, 2017
Conceptualizing science as a social force that is founded on and as an expression of Western, Eurocentric values and as an extension of power allows for a critical examination of the very nature of science, its assumptions, and how knowledge gets defined and legitimated. A component of the historical and philosophical legacy of science is the belief in the primacy of European institutions, practices, and conceptual schemes to the exclusion of others (Harding, 1998). If science as a field reflects the institutionalization of dominant power structures, then Asian American women scientists, as reflected by the women in this study, manifest and personify these systems and power structures through the hierarchy in their identities, where some identities become privileged above others. This culture and environment not only diminishes the complexities and nuances of individual identities but also stifles epistemic inclusion. Thus, simultaneously unraveling and deconstructing the various threads of race, gender, and science allows a deeper, more nuanced exploration of science as it is currently defined and understood to reconceptualize science and weave these threads into new patterns, thereby redefining,revolutionizing, and transforming science at its core.

My favorite variation of this is rediscovering known laws in physics and reinventing math, because the development of these ideas are tied up with colonialism.

asians are overrepresented in stem. women are underrepresented in stem. therefore it's unclear where asian women fall under the umbrella of social justice. this in itself constitutes a unique group, and therefore an underprivileged group, and we need to hear their voices.

I'll redpill you on it: from lots of "postmodern" theory, they have realised you can make up petit recits or little stories about the world, rather than huge metanarratives like "Eurocentrism" which dominate people's perspectives, even if it pretends to be "objective" or "True." Then these people turn around and say they'd just make up their own form of self-reflective, or reflexive, theories which do not ascend to be all "True" although they may uplift female, Indigenous, black, Asian, queer, etc., lived experience as "valid."
>TL;DR
They basically just make up their own form of knowledge because it's not White/Male. It's not as evil and irrational as JBP and anti-Adorno types say, but it's really flimsy anyway.

Even if that's a bad motivation, I don't see how questioning dogma would be anti-scientific.

I have no problem with it. It goes both ways.

seems to be.
>One thing I did realize just talking to you is how hard it was or how weird it felt to talk about the guys joking around at night. I feel like I was making excuses for their inappropriate jokes and trying to decide for myself if they were really inappropriate… and how I should feel about that, and if I should speak up more if I hear stuff like that. Maybe I'm just so used to it that it's like, “Oh yeah. It's 10pm and they're making dick jokes or whatever.” Saying it aloud made me think about it differently.

They're basically talking about cis gender pseudo oriental binary intersectionality and the effects of institutional heteronormativity on post industrial transfeminism and the resulting commentary from unoppressed patriarchal thought leaders within the educational masculosphere

>Writing lines is a form of punishment handed out to misbehaving students by people in a position of authority at schools. It is a long-standing form of school discipline and is frequently satirised in popular culture.
>Writing lines involves copying a sentence on to a piece of standard paper or a chalkboard as many times as the punishment-giver deems necessary. The actual sentence to be copied varies but usually bears some relation to the reason the lines are being given in the first place, e.g., "I must not talk in class".[1]

>It has been suggested that the use of writing as punishment conflicts with the pedagogical goal of encouraging students to enjoy writing.[2] Writing is often used as a way to leverage shame and humiliation for punishment.[3] However, particularly with young children, it may reduce disruptive behaviour at least while they are in the process of writing, simply because of the focus required for them to make the body movements for writing.[4]

Gf has a similar shirt. It makes me laugh because even though she has some kind of bio degree from Virginia Tech, her job is mostly testing piss and shit samples for various drugs. Most of her coworkers have similar academic credentials. Apparently there are too many of them and not enough bio jobs so sample testers now require four year degrees because the company can demand and get them.

When I was in elementary school in the 1980s, I got in trouble for talking in class. The teacher gave me a long sentence to write 500 times as punishment homework. It was something like "I will not talk in Mrs. Smith's class while she is teaching us because it harms my ability to learn and the ability of other students to learn too." I asked if it was ok for me to type it on my family's home computer and print it out. She said it was ok, but I'd have to do it 1000 times since typing is easier.
10 FOR A = 1 TO 1000
20 LPRINT"I will not talk in Mrs. Smith's class while she is teaching us because it harms my ability to learn and the ability of other students to learn too."
30 NEXT A
She knew pretty much nothing about computers but when I handed her the stack of papers with the printout on it, I could see by the look on her face that she knew she'd been outwitted. Such fun.

Makes sense, they hand out PhDs like candy these days (especially to diversity candidates), and cosmology is the sociology of physics, where predictive value goes to die
