Formatting: Your artist's statement should be double-spaced with citations in MLA or Chicago, and it should include a works cited. Your final project should be submitted in PDF format with the pictures coming first, followed by your 2-3 page artist's statement. You can create your entire project in a Word or Pages document, but you will need to convert it to PDF before submission. Some wors processing programs can do this for you using an "export" function. If yours can't do this, please Google and use a PDF conversion website.

Topic/theme: Our readings throughout the semester have exposed us to some of the many, various ways that gender circulates through society, shaping individuals' relationships to their bodies, their families, their romantic partners, and their sense of self. Your primary goal for this project is to reflect on how your experiences as a gendered person are shaped by society and by the stories our culture tells about gender. Though you will pick a primary theme for your project, your work may naturally cut across multiple themes. This is totally okay. What you don't want to lose sight of are 1) connections to the course readings and 2) the ironies and complexities of gender as a spectrum of ideas and experiences that defy easy categorization as singular and homogenous phenomenon. Please be sure to locate your own experiences within the broader melieu of society, identity, and experience.

WGS 100: Intro to Gender in the Humanities Instructor: Daniel Lanza Rivers Spring 2018 Living in a Gendered World Prompt: Throughout the semester, we have explored the relationships among gender, identity, and the humanities. Our readings have covered a broad range of topics and genres, ranging from early modern notions of purity in William Shakespeare, to explorations of love and community in blues music, to contemporary experiences of living in a gendered world. As you synthesize our work from this semester, this project offers you a chance to explore your own relationship to self expression in a gendered world. In order to help you conduct this exploration in a way that personally-relevant and academicallyrigorous manner, this capstone assignment allows you to pick a subject of your choice, so long as you can relate it to one of the following themes: • • • • Childhood, Kinship, and/or Family Romantic Relationships Identity, Self-Expression, and the Body or Normativity and Difference Your photo essay will use between 5-8 photographs from your daily life to explore the role that gender shapes in shaping your identity. Your 2-3 page artist's statement will clearly articulate how your portfolio of photographs portrays your experience of living in a gendered world. This statement will also use quotations and moments from our weekly assignments to offer clear links to the course. For example: 1) If your photo activity included a photograph of your significant other, you might use selections from Shakespeare, Shortcomings, or our Fairy Tale readings to discuss the gendered expectations others' place on your role in your relationship. 2) If your photo activity included a picture of your daughter, cousin, or niece's toys, you might want to include citations from Ms. Marvel, Pinked!, or Audre Lorde to discuss how gender influences your relation's experience of becoming a person in a gendered world. To receive full credit, your final write up must incorporate at least 3 citations from at least 2 units of the course. You will need submit a 1 paragraph response outlining the topic and goals of this paper by Friday 5/4. Your final project (photos and artist statement) will be due by Friday 5/11. I have included a rubric on the next page for your review. This rubric should offer additional insight into how your work will be evaluated.

TOTAL 20 Running head: PHOTO ESSAY 1 Photo Essay Name Institutional Affiliation PHOTO ESSAY 2 1) What is the topic of your photo essay, and which of the four themes have you chosen for this project? How did you come up with this topic, and what about your theme and topic excite you? The topic of the photo essay is living in a gendered world and the theme is childhood, kinship and/or family. I came up with this topic after determining the importance of family relationships in bringing up children. What is exciting about the topic is realizing the role that each gender has in the healthy upbringing of children. 2) How does the subject of your photo essay relate to two or more of our class reading/listening/viewing assignments? The subject of the essay is related to romantic relationships because they end up into families. It is also related to gender roles among families. 3) What is one though or feeling that you are hoping to explore with this creative project? Is there a question you want to answer? An argument you want to make (or an argument you want to refute)? I am interested in rebutting the argument that women have a greater role in the upbringing of children than men. 4) What is one thing that you are still figuring out about your project? This can be a technical question about an artistic medium or a video software, or it can be an aspect of your essay that you are still working on. This is also your opportunity to ask your peers for their feedback, opinions, or experience with your topic. Feel free to be creative PHOTO ESSAY 3 I am figuring out a short video that illustrates the role of gender in maintaining family relationships.
