A while back, Kevin Rudd proclaimed the history wars over. He may have been right, at least insofar as the combatants left on the field are looking decidely ghostly; witness the non-event of the launch of Keith Windschuttle’s latest tome. [...]

Naomi Parry reviews the reception (and content) of Keith Windschuttle’s new book at New Matilda: Late last year Keith Windschuttle released another book questioning the existence of the stolen generations. But this time, nobody cared. Very few people would be [...]

Those who recall the furore over the hoax of Keith Windschuttle and Quadrant earlier in the year might be interested in reading an article by the hoaxer in question, Katherine Wilson, in Meanjin, wherein she discusses her motivations.

Folks might recall the criticism from Jason Wilson bloggers were subjected to over the Windschuttle/Wilson hoax. John Quiggin has written an excellent post in response to the implicit claim that bloggers are “lazy amateurs”. In so doing, he also highlights [...]

I’ve made the case before that the unintended upshot of the Katherine Wilson hoax on Quadrant was to expose that tawdry publication as a complete joke. So perhaps its continued Australia Council funding can be justified as a source of [...]

I feel like I’m flogging a dead horse here a little, but there are still some interesting posts being written on some of the issues arising out of Katherine Wilson’s hoaxing of Quadrant [see past LP posts here]. Most of [...]

There’s an interesting debate proceeding on a post by Jason Wilson at gatewatching on Katherine Wilson’s hoaxing of Keith Windschuttle and Quadrant [previous LP posts here]. I think there’s some useful clarification of some of the ethical issues in the [...]

One of the ironies of the Windschuttle kerfuffle is that Alan Sokal has a new book out. Perhaps all those Sokal analogies will help his sales. At any rate, blogger and UPenn cultural studies prof Michael Bérubé has some very [...]

Years ago, I used to read Quadrant – incidentally before Robert Manne became editor, if I recall correctly. Back in the day, there was a sense that there was some sort of contest of ideas, and thus there was some [...]

Apparently it’s now the question on everyone’s lips – apropos of the Keith Windschuttle Quadrant hoax. “Sharon Gould” was the pseudonym used by a hoaxer who submitted an egregious article embodying “outrageous propositions” about GM research and splicing human genes [...]
