Male professors teaching male students from textbooks written by men — this is largely what UNC looked like for over 150 years, before the establishment of what is now the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

This year marks the department’s 40th anniversary.

Silvia Tomášková, the department chairperson, said when the program began in 1977, it yielded immediate results.

“That very first year they had 50 undergraduates, so that was rather impressive considering this was the 1970s," Tomášková said. "Even today, 50 would be seen as an impressive class size.”

I’m sure they are proud of all the baristas they’ve got as alumni.

Congrats on being the first in the thread and having the best retort ready for the moment. I’d just add I’m just all jazzed to hear them regale us with stories of the great placements they get for their graduates.

Unless it’s for the basketball team....no lasses required. Just 20 pts and 10 rebounds a game. The Carolina way!! MLOL!

Higher education is rotting out because everyone but white males is in charge of it. The idiocy that is passing itself off as genius, is revolting. It proves liberalism is a mental disorder. Sane people are having less and less to do with it.

Who will even want ot have to deal with anyone from academia in a few short years. They will be so completely warped from reality that they will be totally useless outside of the propaganda indoctrination insanity that is becoming “higher learning”.

Her undergraduate degree is from McGill University in Canada...which has a building on its campus named for Stephen Leacock, best known for his humorous pieces ("Gertrude the Governess" and others).

She is the author of a recent book about transgendered shamans. What took the field of anthropology so long? All these years the heteronormalists had people thinking shamans were all males. Leacock is dead so he wasn't a co-author.
