Academic journal duped by author of ‘dog rape culture’ article
- The author of a viral academic journal article about “dog rape culture” in Portland dog parks appears to have misled the journal about her credentials.
- Helen Wilson purported to hold a PhD in Feminist Studies, but none of the institutions that offers such a degree could confirm that she had graduated from their program.
- Wilson also claimed to work with the Portland Ungendering Research Initiative, but the website for PUR first appeared 4 days after she submitted the article, and has only ever featured a disclaimer that it is being “taken down.”
