3. Research Paper
Explore women’s concerns internationally.
-Select a country other than the US that you’re interested in researching
-Select 3 topics that we have covered in class
-Research the women’s movement in that country generally,and then as it specifically relates to
the issues you have chosen. (It may make most sense to begin with some general research and
let that guide the topics that you discuss.)
-Write a 3-5 page essay in which you discuss women’s concerns in the country of your
choosing. I would like your discussion to include some comparison or contrast (in the
introduction or conclusion, for example) with women’s lives in the US.
-Use MLA format for citations (both in text and listed at the end)
Research Guidelines:
You may complete all of your research for the essay online. I’d like for you to have at least three
sources. As you know, Wikipedia is a useful but not completely reliable resource for online
research. I expect you to use scholarly sites – for example, articles that you find through JSTOR
in the library holdings or articles found through Google Scholar – or pages that represent
specific organizations or data sets online.
4. Podcast Review
Listen to a podcast series (or select group of podcast).
-Write a 4-6 page review where you respond to major ideas/topics/arguments/plot lines of the
book and connect it to class material and your personal experience.
I am happy to guide you toward some relevant podcast. Some examples would be Revisionist
History, Strong Opinions Loosely Held, Refinery29, Oh Boy by Man Repeller, Women of the
Hour, Hidden Brain, Sooo Many White Guys, 2 Dope Queens, STown, Invisibilia, Code Switch,
How Stuff Works or Freakanomics (Wage inequality).
