University of Kansas introduces a course on 'Angry White Male Studies' charting the rise of angry white men in the US and Britain since the 1950s
The University of Kansas has added a course on 'Angry White Male Studies' to its list of offerings for the upcoming Fall semester.
The class will 'chart the rise of the "angry white male" in America and Britain since the 1950s,' according to its description in the school's online course catalog.
The course is offered under both the Humanities and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality departments in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
The course, also referred to as HUM 365 and WGSS 365, promises to tackle the tall task of exploring the root cause of anger in white males 'while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger,' the description reads.
The course will review how 'dominant and subordinate masculinities' are represented and experienced in cultures undergoing periods of rapid change,' when that change is connected to 'modernity' and 'rights-based movements of women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals.'
Students wishing to enroll in the 'Angry White Male Studies' course must first complete an 'Introduction to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies' course, or get permission from the instructor.
That course, exclusively in the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality department, focuses on examining 'the extensive role of gender in human life and examines the ways that gender structures power relations among individuals and within economic, political, educational and other social structures, with special attention paid to women's issues and movements in the United States and globally.
The course aims to take a look at 'alternatives to traditional and/or normative constructions of gender and sexuality, and also considers other markers of difference, such as disability, race, class, and religion, which intersect with gender identity and sexual identity.'
The lecture course is worth three credit hours.
