To what extent are a person's day-to-day movements or spatial experience (way a person experiences or thinks about their surroundings) conditioned (affected, influenced, directed) by specific cultural expectations placed on them because of their gender? Compile at least three postings on this topic to the entire group. The first should be a general statement, anecdote, or example to be made by Friday and the second and third should be replies to someone else's remarks, ideas. You may engage in in-depth debate, i.e. you could all theoretically continue the conversation responding to one person's initial posting--especially if it's provocative. Your first posting should be made by the Friday and the others by the deadline. Remember to be respectful of the views of others. There are 5 percentage points available for this exercise and scores will be awarded based on the relevance, logic, clarity and courteousness and your engagement with the views of others. Be sure to read as many of the posts as you can by frequently checking the forum and clicking the individual posts (threads) to see the replies and register that you've read them Last year SCSU marked its first Homecoming in 7 years as part of its Sesquicentennial Celebration. Many of you will be 'going home' soon to celebrate the American holiday, Thanksgiving. Others of you, perhaps like me, will just 'stay home'. But what is home? How is home made? What does it mean to leave or return home? On what scale is a home (is it just a house)? Who gets to define home, what it looks like, feels like, and who belongs? What might home mean for the 'homeless', whether locally or internationally? These are just some of the questions I'd like you to ponder, drawing on your own experiences, thoughts and engagement with ideas in this module of the class. Perhaps informally chat with family and friends prior to the Thanksgiving break to get their views and share with the class. And then, let's, as they say, bring it home. Your first posting should be made by the Friday and the others by the deadline the following Monday. Remember to be respectful of the views of others. There are 5 percentage points available for this exercise and scores will be awarded based on the relevance, logic, clarity and courteousness and your engagement with the views of others. Be sure to read as many of the posts as you can by frequently checking the forum and clicking the individual posts (threads) to see the replies and register that you've read them Browse through some local, regional and/or national newspapers and find a story in the last 5 years that focuses on race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality. Relating it to concepts discussed in class and in the readings (such as the process of 'othering'; racial or ethnic neighborhoods; gendered or queer spaces; resistance and protest; bodily expressions of ethnic/gendered identity; home and workplace issues etc), write a paper describing the 'geographies' (broadly defined, i.e. neighborhoods, spatial experience, importance of space or place) inherent to or behind the surface of the story. See syllabus for general paper guidelines. Due Monday November 4th (by midnight via D2L Assignment Submission Folder). [General Guidelines for Papers: Papers should be at least 2-and-a-half pages in length (but absolutely no more than 6), excluding maps, diagrams, field-sketches, photographs, tables, graphs and satellite images (which, by the way, should include numbered captions or labels). Use a double-spaced, 12-point type in a Times New Roman, Garamond, Book Antiqua, or Calibri font and reset the page to 1-inch margins, and 1 inch at the top and bottom (you may improvise the style on Paper Topic II to make your review look more like a magazine article, however). Papers should include your name, a title, in-text citations (see format used in the Crang text), and at the end a list of ‘References’ for materials used throughout the paper (General APA is preferred). Do not plagiarize and that includes copying and pasting off the internet—I do check for this. Plagiarism of any sort will result in a zero for the assignment, with repeated offenses resulting in an F for the entire course. Papers are due by midnight in the D2L Assignment Submission Folder (found under Assessments/Assignments) on the due date specified for that topic.] Contemporary Cultural Geography of Minnesota Write a "research" paper dealing with some topical (current) aspect of the cultural geography of Minnesota or the British Isles not specifically covered in class (i.e. not Mall of America or Belfast murals). You will need to consult relevant sources including local newspapers, magazines, websites and connect the information found in those sources to theoretical approaches discussed in class and/or in the readings. You might write about an issue or topic concerning landscape, popular culture, class, gender, sexuality, homeplace, globalization, but you must write about it/them in the context of a specific local place. You may address topics with a broad regional scope but be sure through your analysis to justify how and why your topic is a state-wide one (perhaps related to regional/state tourism or cultural initiatives carried out at the state or local level by government). Don't succumb to overgeneralization. Your paper must contain at least 5 sources, at least 3 of which should be scholarly articles or books in cultural geography (scholarly articles refers to peer reviewed papers that appear in journals found on sites like Science Direct in the library's article database; D2L readings and the textbook count, though note that the textbook only counts as one source, not each of the chapters). See syllabus for further guidelines. Due Monday, November 18 (by midnight via D2L Assignment Submission Folder).
