Episode notes

For the record, I actually disagree with both of you, and I had this argument with UL. Being a member of SPSP doesn't make or break my whether or not I can do social science. The position that you shouldn't be allowed to have the discussion, to me, seems cringst. And honestly, if they do something that pisses me off, like, if they decided to become a pro-life institution, I would just quit.

A VBW exclusive report! For years David and Tamler have been a little dismissive of fears about cancel culture in academia but now the SJWs have come for one of our own! We welcome back Yoel Inbar to talk about his experience applying for a position at UCLA psychology only to have his candidacy pulled at the last minute because of remarks he made on his podcast (!) about diversity statements. What does this mean for freedom of expression in academia? Should we advise our students and younger faculty to watch what they say when it comes to politically charged topics? Are they really going to start combing through podcast episodes now – is nothing sacred?

Plus another case of fraud in psychology comes to light courtesy of the Data Colada guys.
