University of Oregon gives $27K to study ‘white supremacy’ in medicine
The University of Oregon awarded a $27,000 dissertation fellowship for a project examining how biomedicine in the United States “serves white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism.”
The fellowship is one of several awarded by the university’s Center for the Study of Women in Society for this year. The grants totaled $94,000 this year.
Sociology doctoral candidate Bex McFife received the Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship for the project. The full title of the project is “Gen(der)italia: Pelvic Physical Therapy, Genital-focused Interactions, and Liberatory Embodiment in Healthcare.” McFife received a $27,000 stipend and student health insurance.
The project examines “Pelvic Physical Therapy” as a “window into gender itself, as genitalia and reproductive processes are fundamental to ideas about biological sex and thus gender and race at large,” according to the university’s description.
Others include projects called “Disclosure: On the Lived Experience of Revealing Trans Existence” and “Embodied Inequities: Gendered Experience, Inflammation, and Chronic Pain Among Transgender and Nonbinary People in the United States.”
Another project in the category of Philosophy is titled “Technoscience and Feminist Metamorphoses of Fanon’s Historical Racial Schema.”
The center also awarded funding for a project on “Hindu Nationalism, Reproductive Justice, and the Politics and Possibilities of Trans Reproduction in India.”
Sanjula Rajat, the main researcher for the project, previously published an article called “Biopolitics and Reproductive Injustice: The Medicalization of Reproduction and Transition.”
The article “brings Foucault’s ideas to bear on two aspects of sexuality, reproduction and trans health care, to show how the operations of biopower result in reproductive oppression.”

Sick stuff.

You have to be detached from reality to entertain this kind of manufactured leftist nonsense.
Jeez…that reads like some AI engine lost power right before it finished the grand application, but some moron approved it anyways.
and when they told the truth they saw how many non dei types contributed anything of real value via the academic side
They’re cutting programs and staff to deal with a hefty (almost $65 million) budget deficit, but its okay to spend money on this stupidity. I realize we’re likely talking about private funding for these grants, instead of funding from the actual school budget, but the optics alone of this dumbness is astounding.
This is how AI will kill academics. Whatever malarky these studies will generate will be entered into the “knowledge base.” It will show up in some rando publication like my favorite, J. Duh, and will be given an unweighted consideration. Information from a publication in either Science or Nature will be considered the same as from J. DEI Fantasy. Were I still an active academic researcher, I would find myself adopting the strategy of General Ripper in Dr. Strangelove: trust no one unless they are known to you personally. And trust nothing out of China.
