Go Dukes!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Just a quick note to tell you all about some great feminism coming from JMU this weekend.

James Madison’s Debate Team  has been winning it up for quite some time.  This weekend, the team traveled to the United States Military Academy (West Point) where they proceeded to make it to finals in Novice and JV divisions.  In Varsity, our team made it to late elimination rounds.  The team also racked up numerous speaker awards.

Among the many arguments “run” at West Point’s 300 rounds, many of those arguments centered on feminism.  To most people, feminism isn’t the first word they think of when they hear “energy policy.”  But, many of the debaters, including those from JMU, felt that energy policy is a great space to talk about gender and identity politics.

So, congrats to the JMU Debate team and congrats to JMU for having such great scholars.

Go Dukes!
