Take notes on Hannah Gadsby’s thoughts, experiences, interpretations, etc. on gender and sexuality.
Write a narrative paper on the following topics.
1. Sociologic Basics: This course began with a brief overview of basic sociological concepts (e.g., structure, standpoint, life chances). Identify/apply two or three to what you have learned from Nannette.
2. Sex, Gender, and Sexuality Basics: Describe Gadsby’s gender identity, gender expression, and sexuality. Discuss “doing gender” (or not doing gender”) in Gadsby’s life. We have discussed the complicated relationship between sex/gender and sexuality.
How does it manifest in Gadsby’s life?
3. We have learned about sexism, genderism, transphobia, heterosexism, and homophobia. Identify which of these have manifested in Gadsby’s life. Explain.
4. We have learned four points about the socially constructed body (e.g., impact of societal expectations on physiology, sexual double standards). Identify/apply one or two to what you have learned from Nannette.
Papers will be evaluated based on:
a. Evidence of learning/recalling/processing multiple aspects of the film,
b. Evidence of critical and analytical consideration of the subiect and
c. Demonstration of comprehension of the course concepts (be sure to describe specific examples from the film and connect them to course content using definitions, explanations, rationale, etc.)
Guidelines
1. Narrative paper format using formal college level writing such as full paragraphs (e.g., topic sentences supported by evidence, good flow and consistency throughout). Because it is about your comprehension of the content feel free to use first-person narrative.
2. Double-spaced, 12 pt font, 1 inch margins.
3. There is no required number of pages. Students should be able to sufficiently respond to each of the inquires with about 2-4 paragraphs.
• This is an estimate for your reference. Do not use a question/answer format, but simply discuss the content in the order described above.
4. No citations are required, but BOLD all concepts from the course (e.g., gender identity,).
