What's Wrong With Women's Studies? Academic Feminism, Censorship & Men
Featuring Professor Janice Fiamengo
In Professing Feminism: Education and Indoctrination in Women's Studies, Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge present research showing how women's studies has come to serve a political agenda, leading to deep problems: dubious scholarship, indoctrination, and the alienation of supporters.
Dr. Janice Fiamengo, U of Ottawa English Professor, discusses the problems of academic feminism at Canadian universities: dubious scholarship, indoctrination, dogmatic teaching approaches, limitations on free speech, effects of "equity hiring," and the consequences for men in the humanities.
Also featuring short addresses by CAFE Spokesperson Iain Dwyer on the state of Men's Issues Awareness on campus, and remarks from CAFE Board Member Hartley Ellis and Advisor Heidi Nabert.
