Alan Sokal is an American physicist and professor known for his work in theoretical physics, as well as for his role in a notable academic hoax. In 1996, Sokal submitted a deliberately nonsensical article to the cultural studies journal *Social Text*, titled "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity." The article mimicked the style of postmodernist academic writing and incorporated jargon from both physics and the humanities.
