> IN PARALLEL, THE PI HAS CONCRETE PLANS TO CONTINUE HER EXPOSITORY AND OUTREACH WORK WHICH INCLUDE A NEW BOOK (ELEMENTS OF INFINITY-CATEGORY THEORY, JOINT WITH VERITY), LECTURES DIRECTED AT THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SURVEY ARTICLES PREPARED FOR A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES, AND EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO ADVANCED MATHEMATICS, SUCH AS HER SERVICE ON THE EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION ADVISORY BOARD AT THE BANFF INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH STATION. Guilty by association. The stunt is to censor these words, since even irrelevant mention of them will trigger a dumb filter. It doesn't matter if the research is on the topic of DEI; if those words are mentioned, it's a slippery slope into wokedom, which is VERBOTEN.

This is an invitation to saturate the field with those words.

  What is "wokism". edit: > rather than keep a science that concluded it was ok to perform scientific experimentation on children to a Nazi level. ah okay, don't bother to reply, no point. I missed that "point" when I asked.

What are you even talking about? I guess we are now in the phase where people just make sh*t up, but don't pretend you care about children, we have seen how you all defended Gaetz an actual pedophile.

    > So being inclusive and introducing new people who have not been exposed to e.g. advanced mathematics is a bad thing? Your definition of "being inclusive" is controversial and voters (including me) don't agree with that. Besides, "DEI advisory board" should not exist, we shouldn't fund that.

The fact that the title starts with "homo" probably doesn't help in the newly established Land of the Obtuse Bigots™.

Why didn’t she put something about working at a soup kitchen into her grant proposal? I guess because working at a soup kitchen doesn’t in any way qualify her for a grant. But she did put information about “services” at a DEI board, probably because that information can help get her a grant. What would you think if most approved grants started with “I am a rich white man”? Surely that wouldn’t be the exact reason why the grant was given. But why would that even be in a grant proposal? What if many approved grants contained “I preside over a board of Aryan math”? Would that be totally fine and not slippery?

  Ah, the mathematical field of false equivalence classes.

    That’s called a comparison, an intuition pump, an invitation to entertain an opposite view. The parent comment said it was an “irrelevant mention”. I simply tried to articulate why it cannot be considered so. Do you actually agree that DEI mention is immaterial to the grant proposal? If so, it can be easily removed, but some people, like the other person who replied to me, seem to think it’s actually a good thing and it’s not immaterial and grants should be distributed based on such criteria. It’s the same old trite progression of “it doesn’t exist” -> “it doesn’t matter” -> “it’s actually a good thing”. Every. Single. Time.

  Of course this helps her proposal, but not because the mere mention of DEI gets it a rubber stamp. It’s part of her credentials to show that she’s taken an active role in expanding access to these advanced fields. It shows she’s part of the community and cares about the field she’s in. Working in a soup kitchen and being a rich white man as counter examples don’t work to prove your point because duh they aren’t related to math.

The "database" released by Ted Cruz is particularly egregious about it – you can toss a dart at any row, read the reward description, and bet on whether the topic is actually "DEI". My favorite one is Award #2303483: "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: USING A COMBINED BASIN ANALYSIS, ISOTOPIC, AND MODELING APPROACH TO RECONSTRUCT THE LGM THROUGH EARLY HOLOCENE HYDROCLIMATE FOR GLACIAL LAKE MOJAVE." My second favourite is Award #2227091 "CAREER: VERSATILE WEARABLE ROBOTS FOR REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN WITH GAIT DISABILITIES".
