How do gender identity, norms, and/or roles interact with consumer capitalism, environmental concerns, and sustainable alternatives?
Review this prompt before you do your week’s readings, lecture, and film. Go to your class with the TA to exchange ideas about the prompt and ask questions.
When you configure your writeup, make sure that it is clear to the reader how your response addresses the prompt.
Your essay must cite at least two course materials (readings, film, or podcast) in your writeup specifying the (name and) author of the article or the title of the film/podcast. You may either:
- Embed a quote directly from the readings or film (include author and page number or film/podcast title and timestamp).
- Paraphrase a key argument made by an author in an article (must specify the name and title. Ex. “Author X argues in article title that….”)
The response must be free of grammatical and spelling error and organized in such a way that an argument is supported by examples or analyses.
