The Anticipated End of the Gender Studies Major Is Here

from The Spectacle Podcast: The Official Podcast of The American Spectator

Harvard University is beginning to downsize its Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program as enrollment reaches an all-time low over the past 15 years. Other universities like Texas A&M are cutting the program altogether due to the lack of interest. On this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss the woke ideology fueling the gender studies major and celebrate the downfall of the degree program. Ellie expands on her previous reporting about Durba Mitra, a gender studies professor who was denied tenure at Harvard, and her wonky scholarship. Ellie and Lyrah also discuss and criticize other gender studies endeavors at other colleges, such as researching LGBTQ children’s books. Tune in to hear their discussion!
