Considering This assignment requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of a social justice issue (which covers course material for last weeks of class) AND to demonstrate your knowledge of course content through engagement and critical analysis with course material. This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade. For this assignment, you are asked to research an example of how people have engaged in the world to challenge injustice, to transform social relations and to create social change, while demonstrating the knowledge, understanding and critical skills you have gained in this course. You are asked to research your example of “feminism” in practice, to describe the issue and activism involved, and how this example relates to key terms/your learning in this course. This is an opportunity to apply course materials by engaging with concepts, vocabulary, theories and themes of the course that help you describe and understand a social issue and the movement, person, or example of individuals working collectively to bring about social change. Conduct research to learn about your assigned topic, and then to write a report that demonstrates what you have learned while engaging in critical analysis on why the issue exists, its history, who is impacted, what social relations give rise to this issue, and the ways people have worked together to address it and create change. Questions that should be directly addressed in your research project: 1.What is the issue, person and/or movement you were assigned?2.What is the social justice issue here? Can you make sense of it/explain why it exists through use of course materials and reference to larger social relations?
3.What form(s) of social activism do you see being engaged in here?4.Which voices are speaking, from what perspective, who are they speaking to and what are they saying/trying to do?
5.What has this example taught you about social activism and social change? Has it inspired you in some way? How might you incorporate these lessons this example has to teach you into your daily life and relationships? You are also expected to incorporate two assigned readings in your textbook to make sense of the social issue and activism you are describing (cite in MLA format, author and page number). A reading can be chosen because it tells you something about your topic/issue, the historical background knowledge required to understand why this issue exists, or one that helps you develop a critical analysis or understanding of the social relations involved. You will be assessed on the research you do to demonstrate knowledge on your issue/topic and to what extent to critically analyzed this topic through engagement with course materials (two scholarly sources from your textbook). Be sure to answer all the questions posed above, succinctly.
