This is a follow-up article, after one providing a historically-well-informed look based in Soviet experiences.<p>I don&#x27;t know if the following is real, but I clipped it the other day from an online comment:<p>“Glaciers, Gender &amp; Science, a Feminist Glaciology Framework for Global Environmental Change Research” --- “Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, &amp; glaciers, particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1. knowledge producers 2. gendered science &amp; knowledge 3. systems of scientific domination &amp; 4. alternative representations of glaciers merging feminist post-colonial science studies &amp; feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, &amp; epistemiologies in dynamic social ecological systems, thereby leading to more just &amp; equitable science &amp; human &#x2F; ice interactions.”<p>To me, what is more ominous (but related) is explicit <i>political tests</i> even for would-be STEM professors.

Title appears to be inaccurate. It removed the word &quot;liberal&quot; which is before &quot;majority&quot; on the original article.

Great article, and beautifully written.

tldr; it&#x27;s okay to teach Fischer despite his being a rank eugenist.<p>It&#x27;s like Seinfeld said regarding Cosby, you can separate the art from the artist (sadly, Seinfeld backpedalled after Colbert countered pandering to his woke audience).
