For a large academic project I'm working on, I've been trying to do something that is rather rare: discuss cultural studies and its practices in the academy in a nuanced and evenhanded way. Unfortunately, cultural studies and related fields have become the Battle of Verdun in our culture war, and typically any support is sorted by critics into "SJW bullshit" and any criticism into "reactionary proto-fascism" by supporters.
I was planning to take a few advanced writing classes so I could improve my ability to write, in case i ever decide to go into research on may way through medical school, but maybe I'll just skip that now... or sneakily investigate the department for anyone teaching one of the expository writing classes that isn't an acolyte of this madness, since I would specifically like to learn how to write scientifically... which I now realize to a wildly dangerous exercise. God forbid I should recklessly endanger anyone by exposing them to empiricism.
