A women’s studies professor at the University of California, Davis has declared that the time has come to replace “traditional science” with “a much needed anti-science, antiracist, feminist approach to knowledge production.”
The professor is Sara Giordano, according to Campus Reform.
Giordano, who has a Ph.D. in neuroscience but has chosen to pursue a career in the field of gender, sexuality and women’s studies, expounds on her thesis in a lengthy essay in Catalyst, a feminist theory journal.
In her 6,611-word treatise (with only three footnotes), Giordano calls on women to “challenge the authority of Science” by “rewriting knowledge” in a way that “explicitly unsticks Science from Truth and therefore opens up possibilities to unstick Being/Power/Truth/Freedom from Coloniality.”
Science is a root cause — perhaps the root cause — of “racial hierarchy,” “genocide,” “slavery” and “exploitation,” the sexuality and women’s studies professor claims.
“Traditional science” depends on “a colonial and racialized form of power,” Giordano says. “These genealogies demonstrate the co-construction of Science with the globalization of racial hierarchy, both of which together naturalize and justify domination through acts of genocide, slavery, and other forms of exploitation. At the root of the justification for social inequality then is Western science (together with philosophy and other modern disciplines).”
Science is also the cause of the evils of capitalism.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there was probably a reason she’s not in neuroscience anymore.
So now social justice is an actual epistemology? In what universe?
Liberals war on science. Democrats are the anti science political party.
Right. Let’s challenge truth. The earth is flat. 2 + 2 = 5. Air, earth, fire, and water.
Phlogiston. No more i-phones, airplanes, cars, refrigerators, TV’s, etc.
My daughter is about to graduate with a BS in neuroscience and is currently shopping doctorate programs.
She has just permanently eliminated UCD from her list of possible schools.
That’s exactly why DJT won. He had one big thing going for him, i.e., the Baby Boomer generation. We’re probably the last ones in the country who recall when America was a decent and moral place to live. We want that back again, no only for ourselves, but for family who’ll follow us.

My daughter’s response to my forward of this article. (she had been considering UCD’s doctorate program in neuroscience)
“Ugh, not even sure how they gave her a degree with that dissertation . Definitely off my list, thanks for sending this!”
Of course.
Goodbye bluebooks, hello muck boots and shovel.
I know that guy!
He also described nuclear physics as "Jewish science."
We got the bomb. He didn't.
Yeah, but it was us Boomers who started the sexual revolution, drug culture, the SDS and Weather Underground and all the other BS that’s causing most of the problems to this day. But at least a YYYUUUGE number of us realized the error of our ways. Hopefully enough Gen X-ers, millennials, or the generation that follows will learn from it.
Sounds like she or he is okay with us rejecting “globull warming”
The primitive societies that people live in without science do not foster respect for feminism or have any resources to spare for useless intellectuals.
Did she get the real science degree when she was a boy or a girl?
?
Remember when the Democrats used to say that Republicans were against Science?
I fear she donated her brain to science before she was done using it. Then again, I am not sure that she would be using it now given the standards currently required in academia.
