The ‘Social Justice’ War on Science

A recently published paper, “In Defense of Merit in Science,” documents the growing influence of “Critical Social Justice” ideology in major scientific institutions. This ideology opposes the idea that we can acquire objective knowledge about reality using scientific methods. Major universities and prominent scientific journals are setting policies based on this ideology and are pressuring scientists to conform to its tenets. How has it been able to influence scientific institutions? What can scientists do to push back against it? Join Mike Mazza and Sam Weaver as they discuss this new attack on science.
