To be fair it’s more like “let’s put more biological determinists in sociology” bc that’s how they measure what’s left wing or not; whether one believes social factors impact societal outcomes. It’s so ridiculous
Tim Gill@timgill924

And there you have it. Viewpoint diversity is simply a cover for ‘let’s put more Republicans in academia.’ And that’s an extremely dangerous position. How would a job call even look? One year hire a Republican? The next a Democrat? That’s absolutely crazy.

@jgo34 @timgill924 I, too go through these cycles of exhaustion. I can sympathize. If someone wanted to have a serious conversation about, say, why we see an over representation of black teen males in official crime stats, I’m happy to do that. But they don’t want to have a conversation really…

the debate about the lack of conservatives in academia is making all of us dumber. It's founded upon false premises & bad assumption about how ideology impacts academia, about what constitutes 'diversity' (dem vs. republican, really?) & is mostly by bad faith actors. I'm so tired

@BlisterPearl They don’t just pull people over and shoot them… There has to be more to the story. What happened?

A three week vacation ended when ICE pulled his car over in Florida. He was two days away from getting on a plane back to his family. Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran is the third ICE-related death in a single week. #AbolishICE

Look, I find academics frivolous and silly too. But this much is obvious: the right is fixated on universities for the same reason it is fixated on labor unions: these are institutions they don't (yet) control

The majority of police (who are paid by the public) are right wing. So by the logic is the academic right wing, they should hire more leftists. How about we have more Marxist police officers?

@jgo34 There are plenty of lefty police officers. Remember the kneelers after George Floyd? And in Great Britain they arrest people for making an "Islamophopic" comment on FB.

@alexwadecraig @timgill924 And if I read some heterodox Econ monograph claiming that Econ is very dominant in x or y or whatever and came to twitter to claim that’s what Econ is you would say what?

Ok, first of all, wow.... Extrapolating from one sociology book to the entire field is something. Second of all, there is a whole bunch of folks influenced by the work of Emile Durkheim, whose whole focus is societal integration. Jeffrey Alexander is a big one here.
Alexander Wade Craig@alexwadecraig

@akoustov My sense from the one book by sociologists that I've read in the past ~5 years is that sociology today is predominantly practiced through various conflict theories, so even perspectives that posit cooperation as the fundamental structuring force of society would be diversity
