No, The Minnesota review is not an academic journal, it is a magazine for creative writers;I just cant make this crap up, and sometimes I feel embarrassed to even link to it, lol.
But here it is for your perusal, if you like spelunking into the modern liberal mind.
Academic Journal: Newtonian Physics Is ‘Oppressive’ to Marginalized People
Whitney Stark argues that Newton’s understanding of physics is oppressive because it has “separated beings” based on their “binary and absolute differences” — a structure that she calls “hierarchical and exploitative” — and the same kind of system is “embedded in many structures of classification,” making it “part of the apparatus that enables oppression.” Stark explains:
This structural thinking of individualized separatism with binary and absolute differences as the basis for how the universe works seeped into/poured over/ is embedded in many structures of classification, which understand similarity and difference in the world, imposed in many hierarchical and exploitative organizational structures, whether through gender, life/nonlife, national borders, and so on. According to Stark, the tendency to categorize in this way particularly hurts marginalized people because it can cause the activist efforts of minority groups to be “overshadowed” by the efforts of dominant groups.
The Minnesota Review
WHO ARE WE?
the minnesota review is a journal featuring creative and critical work from writers on the rise or who are already established. We accept and review creative work from August 1 to November 1 and from January 1 to April 1. We review critical submissions year-round.
Contrary to popular belief, the minnesota review is not based in Minnesota. The journal was founded in 1960 in Minnesota and was stationed there for about 10 years before moving to various locations across the country.
We are currently based at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, and are published by Duke University Press.
It is not a scientific journal, has nothing to do with science.
