Right, but that's academics' voting intention, so they don't need to be politically balanced for the sake of academia. And also that could be self interest voting, rather than the valuing of certain views.

One thing I think about when it comes to writing in the college setting is the colonialism in "academic writing" and not valuing how our students think and write outside of the "acceptable" way we require in academia

Also feelings are a way that people that don’t have access to the language and processes of academia/science use to communicate what matters to them. So valuing feelings is a way of standing in solidarity for economically marginalized populations and those excluded from or sidelined from the academy

when even academia stops valuing the students it has taught—when it stops valuing its own educators—what is left? maybe you'll be lucky to get a corporate job that cares about the status associated with the name of your college. i found that they just want the rich kids, though

My biggest complaint with the current era is frankly that there is no moral leadership. I don’t see anyone at any high level making decisions based on the concept of doing what’s right. Of valuing truth, knowledge, empathy, and integrity. Not in govt. Not in business. Not in academia.

Academia doesn’t need to worry about ‘partisanship’. It needs to worry about facts and truth.
Reality’s ‘liberal bias’ is a result of the left wing valuing critical thinking skills and the right wing valuing sucking evangelical billionaire cock

Yes. I think the answer to a lot of these issues is to start valuing description much, much more (as other disciplines do). JQD is a good step in this direction. But it's very telling that the best descriptive survey work is being produced outside of academia (eg Pew).

Michael Gove's "the people of this country have had enough of experts" but given a progressive gloss.
That isn't the same as not valuing lived experience or only valuing academia - I've read academic studies of the miner's strike and found them useful.

In Birmingham UK and realising how nice English people are. When I left the 🇬🇧 to 🇦🇺, I was over it. In 24hrs I've had many deep conversations beyond academia - everyone showing high EQ, insight, and empathy, teaching me humility and reminding me to keep valuing diversity & cultures.

I 1000% agree with it needs to start in academia valuing trainees who desire a career that incorporates this.
Often it’s looked at as a weaker thing to do.
