The trial of Peter Boghossian
From our UK edition
When James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian and I spent a year writing nonsense academic papers on topics such as 'dog-park rape culture' and 'fat bodybuilding' and submitting them to journals known for producing a similar standard of 'scholarship,' one question came up repeatedly: 'What are they going to do to Peter?' James and I were relatively safe because neither of us work in a university. We anticipated smear pieces and online abuse which is unpleasant, but ultimately survivable. Peter though, was much more vulnerable. Portland State University (PSU), where he works, is notorious for its Social Justice culture, its student protests and its Antifa presence.
