Grievance Studies affair

In October 2018 it was revealed the journal had accepted for publication a hoax article entitled “Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism.” The paper included rewritten sections of Mein Kampf as part of its content. The last two-thirds of this paper is based upon a rewriting of Chapter 12 of ‘Mein Kampf,’ by Adolf Hitler. Authors partially reproduced the part, in which Hitler describes why the Nazi party is needed and what it requires of its members. Changes included replacement of references to national-socialism with feminism and Jews with privilege. The submission of the paper was an attempt to show the lack of rigor surrounding so-called "grievance studies" in academia by demonstrating that absurdities and morally fashionable political ideas could get published as legitimate academic research in the field.[2][3][4][5]
