New Barnard College Courses to Teach Women How to Think

Share this article

Yup, it’s really happening:

The new curriculum at the New York City-based Barnard College, called “Foundations,” aims to reteach its students “how to think” by having them take courses within six new so-called “modes of thinking,” according to a video touting the framework.

For example, the video describes how students will be taught to how to “think” through “global inquiry” while depicting phrases such as “Privilege,” “Identity” and “Money” to “see the 6 degrees of separation between you and someone who lives in South Africa.”
