Publication announcement! 🚨📚 "Sex, Lies and Statistics: Why We Need Evidence-Based Policy on Sex and Gender"

"Sex, Lies and Statistics" documents the missteps society has made by turning its back on evidence when it comes to sex and gender, and shows that accurate data is vital in providing a path to evidence-based policy.

🚨JOIN US FOR ALICE SULLIVAN'S BOOK LAUNCH

On Thursday 12th November the FSU is hosting the book launch for Sex, Lies and Statistics: Why We Need Evidence-Based Policy on Sex and Gender by @ProfAliceS

Joined by Professors Michael Biggs and Ian Acheson (@NotThatBigIan), Alice Sullivan will be discussing one of the most contentious and puzzling social phenomena of our time: the removal of biological sex from data, social policy and public discourse.

Clear, accessible and deeply researched, the book makes a powerful case for evidence-based policymaking and honest public discussion.

At a time when trust in institutions is increasingly fragile, Sullivan argues that if we are to avoid a post-truth culture, we must reject tribalism and groupthink, welcome critical voices, and reclaim the virtue of tolerance.

Professor Sullivan has stood her ground against repeated cancellation attempts and sometimes violent protests, while also defending academic freedom and the free speech of others on multiple occasions.

Sometimes the headline says it all.

"University investigates marketing professor for criticising its marketing"

This is a sad indictment of where we are in academia right now. Self imposed restrictions on free speech through fear of cancellation and what might happen if someone higher up doesn't like what you have to say.
