Professor: Replace ‘Traditional Science’ With ‘Anti-Science, Antiracist, Feminist Approach’
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2017 | Eric Owens

Posted on 10/25/2017 12:22:29 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

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.

Felix Hausdorff, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th Century, murdered(*) because his mathematical writings were deemed -- by German academics, no less -- as "non-German."

Think this can't happen here? Here's one of the executioners in waiting.

(*) Actually, committed suicide along with his wife and sister-in-law rather than obey an order to move to Endenich Camp. He had no illusions about what would happen there. RIP.

Relativity, actually; not nuclear physics.

Yes. Women’s Physics teaches that an object falls at the rate with which a woman is comfortable.

I give this type of information to my liberal friends and relatives. The best answer I can get from them is that this is “FAKE NEWS” because the NYT, WP, CNN, etc. did not publish it.

Others are that it is irrelevant to various issues, or that possibly she has a point, or just ignoring it and changing the subject.

You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink, and you can take a dumb**s liberal to knowledge, but you can't make him think./

I’m afraid it’s gone forever. Trump is a last, slim chance. A Hail Mary pass to beat all such passes.

But occasionally they work, and pray God this is one of those times.

I would LOVE to be wrong.

Just what we need: More unemployable grads with useless college degrees.

Her brain is unstuck. But this irrationality is the natural outcome of the left's rebellion against God, who is Truth.

I remember this sort of weird abstraction-choked babble from the old USENET says - anyone here recall Doctress Neutopia? She’s still around...

Pity. She might have made a positive contribution to treating Parkinson's or Alzheimer's if she wasn't so full of hate.

At this point I will not hire anyone from the University of California. Even the STEM programs are corrupted.

Stop funding Universities with tax payer monies.

Don't send your kids to these over-expensive cess pools of idiocy.

Go the way of plumber, carpenters, welders, etc. Everyone needs a toilet and a house.
