Select an artifact or set of artifacts from this institution that you feel can be analyzed from a gendered perspective.

An artifact must be something original from the social institution, such as a specific school’s curriculum, textbook, anti-bullying policy, a university’s guidelines for athletes, media advertisements, a movie or television sit-com, a selection from brochures or speech texts of religious groups, businesses’ policy statements on sexual harassment, businesses’ guidelines for promotion, laws on equal pay, rape, marriage, health care guidelines, health care advice, an advice book on family communication, parent/child communication, etc.

To do a gendered analysis you will select relevant concepts from this course to apply in a close analysis of the artifact. To do this you should describe the artifact and its context. From this description, you will identify and interpret the messages the artifact presents and explain how those messages serve to create, maintain, and/or change our understandings of gender. Lastly, theorize the possibilities that come to through your analysis by telling us what they mean.

Include 3 relevant concepts from the course. Be sure to define your terms, rather than just name-drop. Write a coherent essay that features your voice, not just a list of concept applications. You will be asked to share your paper with the class.
