what’s your gender?

1. Please produce a visual representation of how you express/experience your own gender. You may use the figure below as a starting place, or you may create an entirely original piece using images and/or three-dimensional materials (note the in-class caveat re: collage).

2. Write 3 pages (typed, double-spaced) explaining your piece and the origins of your gender (e.g. family, geography, community, spirituality, culture, media, education, etc). What do the elements you've chosen for your piece represent/mean to you? What do they signify or symbolize with regard to gender? Please identify the most important sources of your gender – what do you think have been the most significant influences on its development? In your paper, make at least two references to assigned readings/films, use citations correctly and include a correctly formatted bibliography. Both parts due in class on Thursday March 1.
