women, non-binary, and/or LGBTQ folk were represented in the media.

Description

Here are requirements:

(1) In your blog, you must apply intersectional feminist/queer analysis.

(2) In your blog, tie an “artifact” (current event, campus event, image, song, poem, etc.) to the two major course concepts/themes of your choice (in addition to intersectionality).

(3) Draw from at least four course readings. Make sure to demonstrate full comprehension of the readings you utilize. (This means that you demonstrate a full understanding of the author’s overarching argument and are not simply quoting randomly to fulfill this part of the assignment.)

(4) Find one outside source directly related to the topic you have chosen. The source needs to be scholarly or other reliable source(s). (For example, a news article from an established credentialed news outlet.)

(5) At the end of your blog, provide a list of works cited, using a standard format (Chicago, MLA, etc.) Use parenthetical citations in the main text of your blog. You may consider making hyperlinks to relevant sources or embedding them in the main text of the blog, if that is effective for your argument.

(6) Please give a descriptive title to your essay, and center it above your blog.

(7) Please write down your name and a brief (a couple of sentences) author bio at the end of your blog.
