One of the English Major classes at the U.S. Naval Academy dives into gender and sexuality aspects of literature. The course syllabus traces this topic from its women’s studies roots through the current developments including themes from LGBTQ, race, CRT, etc. The course description described early Women’s Studies programs as being limited to White middle-class women.<\/p>\n

From the Daily Caller:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Most of the faculty, students, and topics of study in early Women’s Studies programs were limited by being White, middleclass, women,” the female instructor, whose name is redacted but who appears to have served as Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences during that semester, wrote in the course description.<\/p>\n

“In the 2000’s, some Women’s Studies Departments renamed themselves Gender and Sexuality Studies in order to better reflect Women’s Studies’ growing interest in exploring Queer Theory, Masculinity Studies, Intersectionality, race, and class. Women’s Studies Programs are feminist at their hearts; Gender and Sexuality Studies Programs are not, and in fact, might even reject feminism for its original focus on White middleclass women.”<\/p>\n

Students begin the class by performing a land acknowledgement, the syllabus shows. Students also set the learning outcomes for the course.<\/p>\n

The second class period involve study of “theories of gender” and learning about the Genderbread person, a visual made to show a difference between “gender identity,” “gender expression,” “anatomical sex,” “gender” and “sexual orientation.” On the third class period, students create a diversity statement and learn gender and sexuality vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Another in-class activity scheduled for week 3 is reading pan-African and socialist civil rights activist W.E.B. DeBois’ “Double Consciousness.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
