You mean like when people decide to highlight issues with diversity and representation in academia by requiring it to be addressed?
- ovao 4y agoAddressing diversity issues in academia is a pursuit that can be — and commonly is — orthogonal to presenting research.
- ponow 4y agoRepresentation is a significant goal post move past equality of opportunity. Typically what is meant is that unequal representation is evidence of discrimination. Academia has bent over backwards for a long time now to attempt to admit people of all groups. Blaming academia's admission and hiring processes for the numbers not being the way representationalists would prefer completely ignores the practices of decades.
