Joe Hughes, a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne, and Elliot Patsura, a postdoctoral research fellow, dive into the world of academic hoaxes. They discuss the implications of publishing a paper filled with jargon intended as a satire, questioning the value placed on superficial trends in the humanities.
