Course Registration (Fall 2026)

The Introduction to Male Supremacism course was designed by the Institute for Male Supremacism as part of the educational aspect of our mentee program. Following a successful launch this summer, we are continuing our offering of the six-week virtual course to public registrants seeking to deepen their understanding of male supremacism and the roots and intersections of supremacism broadly. IRMS is a transnational nonprofit organization supporting a community of research fellows and mentees studying male supremacism and seeking a public impact through their work. The course curriculum includes a mix of academic texts, materials from think tanks and research nonprofits, media articles, and videos/podcasts. We recommend this course for educators, journalists, college or graduate-level students, researchers, practitioners, organizers, policymakers, and anyone else seeking to further their knowledge of male supremacist ideology and the foundations of misogynist and transmisogynist violence. Topics covered in the course include: Introduction to Male Supremacist Ideology; Dehumanization and Dangerous Speech; Entitlement and Justification of Violence; Mental Health and Safety in Anti-Supremacist Work; and Concerns with Current Approaches to Research and Reporting on Male Supremacism. The fall course session will run from October 19 to December 6.
