The "Sokal Hoax" and a Movement Towards a Clarity of Expression in Leftist Writing

Authors

Helmut Steger

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to not only gain a better understanding of the "leftist" ideology in educational research by examining one its most prolific authors, but also to take a hard look at how leftist education literature has "allowed" power-ful conservative (or "rightist") coalitions to set the educational agenda in the United States for the next unforeseeable years.
