Thinking about cultural appropriation from one discipline to another and how analogous this is to other forms of cultural appropriation.
From the position of power (in terms of social/institutional/fiscal capital), the appropriator is able to use and lay claim to convenient “parts” of disciplines lower on the totem pole, while declining to invest in a full understanding of the appropriated discipline, and yet still control the narrative in a way that is NOT possible in the reverse direction.
