The rise of modern America brought into focus the variant possibilities of sexual experience. State and Corporate actors then stepped in to regulate “sexual deviance”. Explain how race, class and gender all worked together to enforce sexual normativity.

The readings focus on the rise of three convergent revolutions in American society; the Middle Class, the federal state, and psychiatry. These forces were engaged in the early attempts to create a legal and social framework for controlling sexuality and thereby defining “normative” sexuality.

The rise of modern America brought into focus the variant possibilities of sexual experience. State and Corporate actors then stepped in to regulate “sexual deviance”. Explain how race, class and gender all worked together to enforce sexual normativity.

 

NOTE: for this essay you need to separate and focus your sub-arguments to individually focus on the issues controlling the definition and creation of sexual normativity–class, gender, and race. You might separate this essay into three separate paragraphs or sections where you cover each element.

You must use quote or evidence from, at least, two of the readings in each paragraph of your essay. You need to show that you see connections between arguments and circumstances presented.

use the evidence or argument from these readings in an integrative manner. If you look at the footnotes of an academic article you will generally see an author using several sources to make a singe point. This gives strength to the argument being made.


The essay should begin with a very short introduction (about 2-4 sentences) that announces your overall thesis. Keep your intro simple. You do not need extensive setup or context. Just answer the question and provide the sub-arguments that support your answer. (These will be the arguments the hold up your answer that race or gender were important.)

essay should be 2-3 pages*, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1” margins.

  • Introduction (2-4 sentences, with thesis statement that answers the assigned question. Refer to the “intro template” above)
    • Supporting Argument #1 (Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence. Whether this is one or two paragraphs this sub-section should contain a clear supporting argument for your main assertion). 
    • Supporting Argument #2 (same as supporting argument #1 
    • Supporting Argument #3 (same as paragraph #1. This is not a requirement. You can write this essay with just two supporting arguments if that feels complete.)

 Do not include a conclusion in this essay

For evidence in your supporting paragraphs, you can incorporate brief quotations from the readings. However, simply paraphrasing is enough. Do not rely on long quotations that take up too much space. Choose just the most revealing four or five words from a passage and build your ideas around it.

 

Citations:

Do not worry about a bibliography or about formal footnotes or endnotes for these brief response essays. At the end of a sentence with quoted material or specific information, just provide a brief parenthetical citation. For the Kathleen Brown, Taking the Trade  reading, abbreviate it as KB: TT, along with the page number. Thus, a sentence that quotes from page 18 should end (KB:TT, 18).
