Professor of History and French
Columbia University
at time of fellowship
2024 to 2025
Robcis will write a book exploring the arguments against so-called “gender ideology,” “gender theory,” or “gender agenda.” She will trace how critics came to perceive, and fight, “gender ideology” as responsible for the push for sexual and reproductive rights, from the legalization of abortion and access to contraception, to same-sex marriage, sexual education in schools, non-discrimination bills, access to new reproductive technologies, trans rights, and more.
