Some people are saying this might be a new sokal hoax. What does /his/ think?

>Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and 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 and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of glaciers. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.
>Glaciers are icons of global climate change, with common representations stripping them of social and cultural contexts to portray ice as simplified climate change yardsticks and thermometers
>A critical but overlooked aspect of the human dimensions of glaciers and global change research is the relationship between gender and glaciers. While there has been relatively little research on gender and global environmental change in general (Moosa and Tuana, 2014; Arora-Jonsson, 2011), there is even less from a feminist perspective that focuses on gender (understood here not as a male/female binary, but as a range of personal and social possibilities) and also on power, justice, inequality, and knowledge production in the context of ice, glacier change, and glaciology (exceptions are Bloom et al., 2008; Williams and Golovnev, 2015; Hevly, 1996; Hulbe et al., 2010; Cruikshank, 2005).

This was published in a peer reviewed journal by the way, unlike the case in the sokal incident. So obviously this is a bit more important. Didn't have character space to put this in the OP.
>Tyndall, on the other hand, argued that glaciers moved more like a solid substance flowing over bedrock. He eventually triumphed in this debate, contends Hevly (1996), because Tyndall mobilized his greater fame as a mountaineer – having achieved many pioneering first ascents – and deployed a rhetoric of manly risk and exertion. There was what Hevly calls a ‘culture of field science’ in the 19th century that favored ‘authentic, rigorous, manly experience’, and scientists – let alone women – who did not explicitly demonstrate that their glaciological conclusions stemmed from heroic, manly adventures struggled to make their scientific claims credible. Glaciology was for muscular gentlemen scientists. Women could read about glaciers in the Alps, but they were not fit for glaciological research, field science, or even alpine tourism. And men like Forbes who lacked the manly heroism of risk-taking mountaineers lost scientific credibility that hinged on masculinism.

Reading the link, it's more talking about how Glaciers are seen on a cultural level, how they are presented and used in the media in the discussion on climate change and science.

It also seems to be talking about the field and how it's male dominated:
>To balance out the male-dominated world of glaciology, unique programs such as ‘Girls on Ice’ seek to provide glaciology (and life) training for high-school-aged young women in field schools in Alaska and Washington state. This program offers an alternative to the more traditional path to a career in glaciology or any field as it specifically focuses on empowering women through their experiences with and research about glaciers. While the program may perpetuate a male-female binary that feminist studies and queer theory have long sought to dismantle, Girls on Ice plays a key role in glaciology to provide female role models, to understand glaciers in unique experiential ways, to imbue teenage women with the confidence to become scientists and community leaders, and to inspire them about learning science (Pettit et al., 2010). The program’s founder, Erin Pettit, maintains that it is essential to restrict Girls on Ice solely to young women
>....The history of glaciology is not simply about the ubiquity of men and the absence and/or erasure of women. It is also about how scientific practices and results are gendered. Many natural science fields have historically been defined by, and their credibility built upon, manly attributes such as heroic (often nationalistic) exploration and triumphs over hostile, wild, and remote landscapes
So yeah, it's literally just an analysis of how science is presented to the public and how gender roles manifest within the sciences itself.
>>811185
What? What? What? Fucking WHAT!? Can someone explain this shit? I can't even begin to comprehend this.
>>811275
It's talking about sexism in the field of glaciology and how natural sciences are presented to the public through the media in a masculine manner.
>>811282
How the fuck do you talk about natural sciences in a "masculine manner"? I can't even wrap my head around feminists anymore. I swear most of them like to complain, just to complain.

The journal is called "Progress in Human Geography"
>Human geography is the branch of the social sciences that deals with the world, its people and their communities, cultures, economies and interaction with the environment by emphasizing their relations with and across space and place.

So, garbage.
Essentially

some people are more perceptive than you are
>>812900
why is it garbage? it's just reporting facts
>>811291
they need to justify their academic position (and thus the funding they get)
that's all there is really
>>811185
Reminder the fuckers got $700k to do this.

And injecting toxic waste of analysis for free government bux.

Those kind of nonsense is a staple for them. Look at this.
