Critical Race Theory: When Cancerology Gets Tangled in the Woke Carpet
There is no longer any need to recall the permeability of entire sections of academic research to theories themselves stemming from French Theory and from deconstructivism at all costs. Initially confined to the human and social sciences, this groundswell is now affecting the hard sciences since perched articles such as "Queer identity and theory intersections in mathematics education: a theoretical literature review" or "A quantum physics explanation for polyamory, BDSM, and queer people" are now commonplace (1, 2).
In the USA, this trend and in particular the emergence of Critical Race Theory is now affecting medical sciences and it is with a mixture of amusement and dismay that we see the blossoming, in the major international conferences usually held in North America, of lunar works now aiming to denounce the endemic and patriarchal WASP systemic racism in the care of patients suffering from cancer.
