Final Paper (Due Wed, May 21, 4pm, in my mailbox, CA D4. You may
also submit your paper electronically at my email address above--in that
case I will return your paper electronically.)
Select one feminist issue we have discussed in class (the "Beauty
Myth," social inequity, the structural nature of disempowerment, sexuality,
pornography, war and women, prostitution, etc.) Develop your own
view/claim within the issue, and use theory/theories to articulate
your position. Be sure to articulate different sides of the debate or
positions, including that of your opponent, and develop a coherent
defense of your position (which means that you deal with the problems raised
by others). Use as many of the sources as possible, and be sure to
cite the source and page numbers.
If you would like to work on an issue that we did not cover in class, let
me know--we can discuss it.
(If you submit your paper via email, I will send a quick response that
I received it--please check. If you do not get that response, assume
that I did not receive your paper. It is your responsibility that
I receive your paper--if I do not have a paper, I cannot generate a grade.)
