Who's Afraid of Gender Studies? with Jane Ward and Trung Nguyen

In March, viral depositions of a couple of 20-something white twinks named Justin Fox and Nathan Cavanaugh (referred to on social media as "DOGE bros") made explicit how careless and nihilistic the federal government was in cutting humanities funding last year, as part of Elon Musk's short-lived Department of Government Efficiency. Jane Ward is a Feminist Studies professor at UC Santa Barbara who wrote about recent closures of gender and women's studies departments at US colleges on her Substack, the Sapphic Cut. Co-hosting! Trung P. Nguyen, friend/recent guest who teaches Ethnic Studies at San Jose State.
