@tlitb.bsky.socialI’ve written for the Times today on what Jason Arday’s rise and fall from grace tells us about the chunks of modern academia that have become places that prize midwitted groupthink, and people parroting idiotic ideologies to remain in with their mates. www.thetimes.com/article/b3e4...
Show PostThank you. I think we will be writing to @bellingcat.com as well as Amnesty. At best, this podcast is disseminating misinformation. At worst, it's defamatory.
Show PostHad Arday exaggerated less and made up his quotes instead of plagiarizing, nobody would have noticed—this type of research is simply not falsifiable. But what does this all say about academic standards in Cambridge, sociology, and education? It is no wonder academics are losing public trust.
Show Post'Some have argued that Arday has come under unfair levels of scrutiny.' I love this argument. As though he should have been scrutinised, but not to the extent of uncovering anything incriminating.
