The development of a valid and reliable measurement tool is compatible with, and quite comparable to, the feminist project of identifying how gendered relations of power enable the persistence and concealment of sexual violence.

This article examines the development of Mary Koss’s influential Sexual Experiences Survey, one of the earliest tools used to estimate the national prevalence of sexual violence. Koss's research is a great case study to assess the value of feminist standpoint theory. The surprising conclusion?

thank you, Hane!

Nancy's work has always been compelling to me, and this paper is (in part) trying to renew part of the spirit from her style of feminist theorizing. it's so apt that this named award was granted to a paper that retraces the steps of her thinking. i'm honored!

also: i was, on the basis of this paper, awarded the Nancy Hartsock Endowed Graduate Student Award, which recognizes creative achievements of an emerging scholar doing work in feminist theory.

i appreciate your thoughtful engagement with the piece! i found a lot of joy engaging with your argument here :)

hey, look! my first paper was published in Hypatia

Dear Professor Byrne

hi everybody! if you're an academic philosopher and would prefer your colleagues didn't produce propaganda which furthers the trump administration's attempt to eradicate transgender people from public life, consider reading/signing this open letter about it!

Rethinking Gender/Sex Identity Until quite recently, investigations of gender/sex development operated from a baseline assumption that gender/sex is dichotomous or binary. Most such studies constructed gender/sex outside of or adj....

1/5 I am pleased to announce a new paper, based on a talk I gave last year at the annual meeting of the Human Biology Association. This link is open 4 a free read for a while but eventually it will get pay-walled because I can't afford open access. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

The next administrator who sends me a “be patient—this is business as usual” email gets this piece in reply. Worth a read.

I was walking down Canal Street and bought this. It’s crazy how quickly they can get merch made these days.

nice meeting some folx!

fortunately this year's #SSWR25 is taking place just a few miles from home. looking forward to meeting the wonderful social work researchers :)

TLDR: keep an eye out for people indirectly using your name & credentials for AI generated muck. like look at the description here

granted, only the name is used and nothing about her title, so i suppose it is possible that there is another Klein who writes platitudinously.

i hope it is not her, at least, because i emailed the Yale professor to say the book seems like a fake 🤷🏻

the sites say it was written by “Ph.D. Jennifer Klein,” who is actually a historian, but she seems to mainly work on labor stuff and the two books she has published read way way way better. lol

it seems to only be available as an audiobook which is open for purchase on several platforms. the description doesn’t read like it’s a real book, doesn’t seem to have a real publisher, and reads like it’s a collection of wikipedia articles

i think i stumbled upon a fake (or AI generated?) book that uses the name of a Yale historian.

makes you really wonder about the credibility of current SEP article authors…

what Brett means is that there are no good philosophers. it’s just the contemporary form of Plato’s no knowledge argument

Alison has written such a diverse body of work and i have found it all insightful! her work on standpoint theory got me interested in the project i’m working on in my phd, and she is also fostering my appreciation of phil sci. i’m so glad she’s getting more recognition!

interesting! twenty seems like a lot, but maybe i'm underestimating them. how did you come up with grades? was there a rubric? i'd love to see the instructions if they help clarify :)

could you say a little more about how you structured the exam? im curious!
