Tulane recruits high schoolers for summer courses in ‘gender equity’

High school students will be studying ‘decolonizing feminisms’ and other gender equity courses at Tulane University’s Newcomb Summer Session this summer.

The Newcomb Summer Session is a pre-college program for high school students. This year’s session provides seven courses on various feminist studies, covering topics such as women’s advocacy and activism, ‘rape culture,’ ‘decolonization of feminism’, and ‘reproductive rights.’

Each course is “designed to inspire students to end gender inequality in their generation,” by empowering “students to put feminist ideas into social action,” according to the description page.

“Decolonizing Feminisms,” one of the courses taking place from June 20 to June 23, seeks to instruct students on intersectional feminism.

“Seminar discussions will include cases where colonialism, capitalism, heteropatriarchal power, and racialized systems were used to position the issues important to some groups of women over the needs of other women,” according to the course description.

The course will be taught by Professor Jacquelyne Thoni Howard, an administrative assistant professor of technology and women’s history at Tulane.

Another course called “Dismantling Rape Cultures” is set to be taught by Professor Hannah Knipp, who has research interests in gender and intersectional feminism.
