Associate Professor Chelsea Szendi Schieder PhD talks here about the 2021 revival of discussion about the 'comfort women' issue as a article was published arguing that women willingly worked in 'comfort stations' during WW2. Although it was written in a minor journal, it had been passed through peer-review, so Professor Schieder and a group of academics wrote a 35 page letter asking for the article to be retracted because it lacked academic integrity.
