In the Summer issue of Ms., we look into the origins and consequences of a new Florida law that could decimate degree programs in women’s and gender studies, Africana, ethnic and queer studies, among others. 

And lest you think this is just a “Florida problem,” author Aviva Dove-Viebahn explains how the law fits into a radical right-wing strategy that extends nationwide. Lorna Bracewell, an associate professor at Flagler College in St. Augustine, warns that “if these policies are permitted to go into effect … it’s a death knell for public education in the state—and it’s not going to be confined to the state.”

Here’s a glimpse at what else you’ll find within the pages of the upcoming Summer issue:

• A look back at 50 years of women in hip-hop. Scholar Janell Hobson writes women into the story of hip-hop while grappling with that ever-present dilemma: How do we love hip-hop when hip-hop doesn’t always love us back?
• A solution to inequality in professional sports—let women and men play together. “Gender segregation makes us believe that men and women are fundamentally so different that they can’t even play sports together,” writes Susan Shaw. “Because that’s what we believe, that’s what we see.”
• A Ms. conversation with legal scholar Diane Rosenfeld and actor and activist Ashley Judd. Along with frequent Ms. contributor Carrie Baker, they discuss Rosenfeld’s new book, The Bonobo Sisterhood: Revolution Through Female Alliance, and reveal what some of humanity’s closest living relatives can teach us about preventing sexual violence.
