For this personal reflection essay you will apply course readings and discussions to identify and examine the social construction of your own unique gender identity. Remember, that there is not one gendered experience; rather gender is influenced by race, social class, and other identity categories. Include specific gender stories, observations, and concrete descriptions of your own experiences to demonstrate what you have learned regarding how gender is constructed, and how that construction influences your worldview and expectations.

In addition to including personal stories or anecdotes, you will theorize your experience by applying a minimum of 3 relevant concepts from the course. Be sure to define your terms, rather than just name-drop. Write a coherent personal reflection essay that features your voice, not just a list of concept applications. Creativity is encouraged. No external references are required.

You will be asked to share your essays with our learning community. If your essay includes sensitive material you do not wish to share first consider if it is necessary to include in your paper. If you decide it is, please make your post private. Private posts will not receive feedback from classmates because they will be hidden.

Use proper MLA formatting and edit your paper to be free of writing errors. It should be 750 – 1000 words and posted to OpenLab on time.
