Critical Woke Studies as Discipline

The manifesto proposes building a formal research program to study 'woke' ideology—its claims, methods, and institutional effects—using standard social‑science tools. Instead of polemics, it calls for systematic empirical work that treats contemporary progressivism as an object of analysis. — Institutionalizing this field would shift culture‑war debates into testable research agendas that could reshape funding, curricula, and editorial standards.
