I wonder what's so ominous about listening to what historically marginalized groups have to say about glaciers instead of systematically censoring them on the basis of their identity.

Why does the historical side matter in this context? Their work is perfectly capable of speaking for itself.

Fair point. I inserted a snippet I did not have the provinence for, and I did not see the full import. Mea culpa.

However, there seems to be more going on within that snippet than "We will study glacier change impacts with particular sensitivity to women's views." Some of those other things do appear pertinant to the subject of the OP at Quillette.
