There’s some white men out there becoming angry after the University of Kansas offers a course called “Angry White Male Studies” for the 2022-2023 schoolyear.
According to the course catalog on the official school website, the 3-credit course (“HUM 365 Angry White Male Studies”) is described as: “a course that charts the rise of the ‘angry white male’ in America and Britain since the 1950s.” Students will “explore the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger.”
The description adds, “Employing interdisciplinary perspectives, this course examines how both dominant and subordinate masculinities are represented and experienced in cultures undergoing periods of rapid change connected to modernity as well as to rights-based movements of women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals.” Since the news broke, Kansas Republican Congressman Ron Estes has spoken out to condemn the course, plus a white male Executive Editor at right-wing North Kansas City newspaper ‘The Heartlander.’
