Explain what I am going to argue, how I am going to support my argument and explain why it matters.

Williams. Also develop logos to consider and treat the people that disagree like they have a reasonable for their beliefs. How do they identify with their stance using pentad.

    Define bodily autonomy in your own words, and briefly trace how it’s shown up in two of our course topics or assigned readings. [~1-2 pages]

  • Title: “Breaking Barriers: Examining the Evolution of Women’s Work in Historical Context”

    Essay on Women’s Work in Historical Context
    Write an essay of approximately
    1500–2000 words that covers a topic of importance in the history of women’s
    work. For example, you may want to compare the work situations of different
    women, analyze how different women contributed to Canada’s settler colonial
    economy, learn more about the pay and working conditions of young women in
    early factories, or examine the attitudes and expectations relative to
    motherhood in early 20th-century Canada. Give some thought to your topic selection
    and try to choose something that deeply interests you.
    Follow these steps to prepare your paper:
    1.           Your essay
    will need a clear thesis statement. Use the following questions as guidelines
    in preparing your essay and thesis statement:
    a. What general issue or question are you
    addressing in your essay, and why is it important? Within this general issue or
    question, what specific questions do you wish to answer? Write down all the
    questions you have and use them to guide your reading and research.
    b. what appear to be the most important findings
    with respect to the specific questions you have? Can you identify any major
    themes and findings? Do all authors agree on the issues you are addressing? If
    not, what might explain these differing viewpoints? What types of evidence do
    different authors offer in support of their views?
    c. Reflecting on your reading and on your own
    experience and ideas, what have you learned about the questions you started
    with? What, if any, new questions have emerged?
    d. What are the implications of your findings for
    understanding women’s work more generally?
    2.           Once you
    have considered these questions, develop your thesis statement. What is the
    main argument that your paper will be making regarding your topic?
    3.           Please
    choose peer reviewed or sources can be accessible by reader. Thank you!

  • “The Intersection of Identity: A Critical Reflection on Gender and Other Aspects of Identity”

    Critical Reflection Paper: For this assignment, you will be asked to write a 4-5
    page, double-spaced essay that asks you to exercise both reflective and critical
    thinking. You will be asked to write about two memorable and in some way(s)
    connected experiences in your life that, at the time or perhaps not until now,
    impacted how you saw yourself in relation to two aspect(s) of your identity, one
    of which must be your gender (for gender, you may focus on your gender
    identity, your gender assignment, and/or your gender roles). Other aspects of
    your identity may include: your social class, your sexuality, your race and/or
    ethnicity, your body image. You will need to explore the intersections between
    these aspects of your identity (for example, gender identity and sexuality) and to
    reflect on your experience(s) from your newly-informed WGST perspective.
    As part of the critical thinking component of the assignment, you will be asked
    to connect your experience to two “texts” from the course list on D2L, one
    of which must be a reading. You will be required to incorporate two concepts,
    one from each “text”, that helped you to reframe/conceptualize your
    experience(s). You will need to be as specific as possible in your choice of
    concepts, and be able to identify how the writers/speakers define and use such
    concepts as racism, sexism, classism, sizeism, ableism, heteronormativity,
    gender roles, gender identity, and gender stratification, for example. Be sure that
    you fully integrate the concepts from the texts into your discussion and explain
    the connections to your experience(s) clearly. You are not expected to provide an
    analysis of the texts in this paper, but you are expected to understand how the
    writer/speaker explores and defines the concepts. Your paper should have an
    introduction (which lays out your experience(s) in brief and perhaps mentions the
    connection to the two concepts from the readings), unified body paragraphs with
    a clear focus, and a conclusion (in which you provide an overall summary and
    feminist-informed conceptualization of your experience(s). You will need to
    include a Works Cited page at the end of your paper and to include in-text
    citations if you quote from the texts. You may use APA or MLA format. A word of
    caution: be sparing in your use of quotations; I want to see that you can explain
    the concepts in your own words and integrate them meaningfully into your
    discussion.
    *I will be respectful of your life experience(s), and your paper will be kept in the
    strictest confidence. Please note that you are asked to provide only details of
    your experience(s) that you feel comfortable sharing.
    Criteria for Evaluation
    –level of detail
    –depth of self-reflection and critical thinking
    –relevant and clear use and understanding of the two concepts from the texts
    –clear use of your two identity categories (one of which must be gender)
    –clarity of expression
    –unified paragraphs focusing on a central organizing idea
    –organization of sentences within and between paragraphs

    Lastly, your papers must include an ethical component…please do not omit this crucial task.

  • Title: “Unveiling the Silences: A Transnational Feminist Critique of Border Crossings: Half the Sky”

    Must watch the documentary, Border Crossings: Half the Sky . Consider the following questions (if
    helpful): 1) What are the material conditions faced by the women/girls; 2) HOW
    is the film silent about the political/historical and economic context (which
    should be important for your critique); What is the perspective of the film?
    (i.e. who is the audience supposed to identify with?); and 4) Applying the
    concepts from the readings in section 4, what are some main transnational
    feminist critiques of this Western “feminist” documentary?  Please use at least three (3) readings
    from this section of the class (section iv).  Use the 3 articles that are attached 

  • Title: “Queering All About Eve: A Feminist and Gender Analysis of Eve Harrington and Addison DeWitt”

    As an exercise in reading Joseph Mankiewicz’s All
    About Eve through the lenses of feminist, gender, and queer studies lenses:
    Discuss the characters
    of Eve Harrington and Addison DeWitt in the film All About Eve as
    “queer” — both in the sense of being outside of the mainstream of
    others in their 
    category of identity (as female, as male, as actress, as
    critic, as member of society), and in the sense of there being hints that they
    are sexually attracted to and
    identified with the same sex.
    In your analysis, can All
    About Eve be read as a “queer film”? For a definition of 
    “queer
    film,” see Harry M. Benshoff and Sean Griffin, “Introduction: What is
    Queer 
    Film?,” in Queer Images: A History of Gay and Lesbian Film in
    America 
    (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2006): 9-12. (Bb)
    How can All About Eve
    be read using the lenses of feminist and gender studies?
