(3-4 pages) You will write a short paper (3-5 pages) that reflects on your
own gender identity. Apply course readings and discussion to reflexively
identify and examine the social construction of your own gender identity.
Include specific observations and descriptions from your life. Your goal is
to apply at least three concepts from our course to examine your own
gender identity. Be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the terms
you use, rather than merely name-drop. Cite the text as necessary when
applying a term. Write a coherent essay that features your voice, not just
a list of concept applications. No external references are required (other
than your textbook). When analyzing yourself, you do NOT need to reveal
EVERYTING about yourself. You only need to disclose what you are
comfortable discussing. If there is an aspect of your gender/sex identity
that is private, do not feel compelled to discuss it.
