MIT’s Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (GCWS) is at it again. Diving into erotic vomiting to “reorganize hegemonic gender formations” was clearly not enough. It’s now time to “queer” both the humanities and all social science research.

This spring’s seminar on Feminist and Queer Methods focusses on “how interlocking systems of power related to race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, and so on impact the production of knowledge—and the possibilities and limitations of research as a tool to disrupt dominant forms of power.” Power Dynamics is also one of the mandatory DEI training classes all faculty and graduate students must take.

Using “transdisciplinary perspectives to identify debates and tensions in conceptualizing, conducting, analyzing, writing, and disseminating feminist research” the class will equip students to spread the woke mind virus wherever they go.

MIT was lucky to get Chris Barcelos to teach this course, a humanistic social scientist and feminist educator from UMass and a senior fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies. (Although MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Socialist Scientism (SHASS) is brimming with radical feminists they apparently aren’t sufficiently humanistic to queer research.)

The class meets every Wednesday from 4pm-7pm, complementing Choreographies of Resistance and Sexual Pedagogies and Social Justice. The former is busy organizing campus decolonizing protests, adding vibrance to the community. The latter incorporates scholars, activists, and artists working in or writing about sexual pedagogy through an intersectional lens in contexts such as educational workshops, performance art, music videos, and postpornography.

As soon as social science is thoroughly queered it will be time to conquer real science!
