This is important work. Even a casual observer can anecdotally confirm this. As a long time reader of Scientific American, and comparing 2020s era articles to 1970s era articles (with which I am very familiar) Scientific American is now entirely and shamelessly political. Its disgusting and an utter embarrassment.
Interesting analysis though I’m a bit uncomfortable with all articles dealing with EDI matters being labelled as ‘identity politics’. That’s certainly part of the debate surrounding EDI, and a contentious one at that, but i wonder would social justice have been a better label? Of course such choices are themselves political.
