Scientific inquiry has long been considered a stalwart of observation and objectivity, but one effort underway by some researchers prioritizes applying a critical social justice lens into science, according to an upcoming event at UC Santa Cruz.
The event, what organizers dubbed Feminist Science, describes the effort as a method that infuses social justice, inclusion and equality into science to advance progressive social change.
The workshop is hosted by Free Radicals, described as a collective that envisions an open and responsible science that works toward progressive social change.
The mission of the Free Radicals is to enact political and social change by advocating scientists think through the hidden assumptions in their methodological approaches and challenges researchers to think more deeply about the political implications of their work, its website states.
The Free Radicals could not be reached on Tuesday by The College Fix to discuss how they would respond to those who may view their effort as a manipulation of science to advance an identity politics-driven agenda.
The event is sponsored by UC Santa Cruzs Science and Justice Research Center, self-described as a globally unique endeavor that works to build on the schools historic commitments to socioecological justice and strengths in science studies and interdisciplinary research.

If these people have their way, we’ll be entering a new dark age.
This nonsense is nothing more than the nazi “aryan science” repackaged.
Truly there is nothing new under the sun
So yes, we've been down this road before. The current body of ideology that comprises Critical Race Theory and White Privilege as well as the movements for Women's math (sic) and "socially responsible" science could have been lifted from the pages of the Völkischer Beobachter or Der Sturmer with scarcely an alteration, with no one noticing because the stuff isn't covered in the Women's History curricula. This road ends at the gas chambers.
These harridans possess none of the above characteristics ... so out of Envy and Pride, they seek to destroy science.
= postmodernist deconstructionism:
Reality is not objective or independent of man but is constructed by man. So scientists can construct a reality that furthers the libtard agenda.
The truth has no agenda
Feminist science or creation science?
Do I really have to choose?
Wouldn’t it be a sad hoot to watch these gals thronging to something that looks like spoiled Christianity. In the name of curing its ills.
Creation science, I submit, tries to analyze miracle. I don’t do that. I call miracle miracle.
Well it actually does — to teach itself and (whether or not we wanted it) to serve as a medium to reveal the God who is its Author.
The answer to bad science is good theologians.
