Who decides what gets to be published? Who decides what doesn't? Those people on editorial boards define what is 'knowledge' in our field.

We learned about feminist and indigenous people objecting to many things related to the "white-western-male-researcher" way of thinking, and this sparked their interest in how this may be similar to research ethics in the Deaf-World. They decided to co-author a paper, which was published with Sign Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
