Gender Studies programs in universities all over the country focus on women's victimhood rather than women's potential. To remedy that, Leah Jacobson and Dr. Kevin Stuart began a new Master's in Catholic Gender Studies program at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas.
Jacobson is the author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women's Movement. Dr. Stuart is an assistant professor of political science, director of the Master in Public Policy & Administration program, and director of the Catholic Studies program at the University of St. Thomas.
People often ask, "'How did things get the way they are, and what's really going on here?' This program is designed to help people answer those questions, to go below the surface level disputes, to get to the larger forces below," Dr. Stuart says, as well as to provide "the resources that the Church brings to the table."
"When you delve into the issues we deal with in this program, you don't go far before seeing mistakes in understanding what a human person is, and who we as men and women are," he noted.
The new Gender Studies program corrects that with four areas of study: health care, family policy, Catholic feminism, and sexuality and gender.
"We've lost who we are because we don't know Whose we are," says Jacobson. Every student will begin with an anthropology course, 'The human person, body and soul,' "to give everyone that basic grounding in who the human person is and what we were meant for," she explains.
