Assignment Question
Your final essay will allow you to further explore intersectionality. Select two marginalized identities that women can hold and conduct further research that explores the experiences of women who belong to this community. For example, you may choose to focus on Black trans women, Chinese immigrant women, or queer disabled women. Intersectional identities can include race, age, gender identity, ethnicity, gender expression, class, religion, disability status, sexual identity, and immigration status. You may look at an historic event or more current experiences that illustrate the way that intersectional identities impact women’s lives. Once you have decided on your intersectional focus, respond to one of our course’s essential questions to focus your analysis, shape your thesis, and guide your essay: How is gender socially constructed and systemically enforced? How do we unlearn harmful ways of thinking, such as racism and transphobia? How does the past inform the present experiences of women in the U.S.? What is solidarity? What is autonomy? How are they connected? What does women’s liberation mean? Is there one definition? Why or why not?
Your research must include at least three sources, of which at least one must be an academic source/scholarly article taken from the COA library database or other academic online sources. Depending on which intersectional identities you choose, you may have difficulty finding more academic sources which is why we need to look to other sources of knowledge that can help us understand and honor these lived experiences. Additional sources can include poetry, film, an interview of a member of that group, social media posts, music or podcasts.
If you are a member of the group of women you choose to focus on, I encourage you to speak to your own experiences as well. Some of the strongest essays students have submitted have included interviews with the women in their families who can attest to gender expectations and their experiences both in their home countries and in the U.S. So you have a lot of options even though sources may be limited or require some time to conduct research. I am happy to help you narrow down your focus and find sources so reach out if you would like support with getting started. Your final paper must include: An introduction, body, and conclusion Thesis: a focus on two intersectional identities and also respond to one of our essential questions Reference at least 3 sources (at least one must be an academic source – use COA library database/or other academic online sources)
