Recently found this article referred by Scott Alexander, who had a similar experience at the APA meeting almost four years ago.

I believe that "woke-ism" has affected on a different level almost every field in the western world. However, I hold an optimistic stance and have a feeling that we are past its peak. Interestingly I started to notice more and more studies on woke-ism, where it can be quite objectively measured. But my point is simple - more and more people are starting to note 'woke' culture and recognise it as an ultimate threat (especially in science), so there is a strong chance we will see how it goes down already in the near future.
