This is a comprehensive assignment that requires a deep understanding of gender from an intersectional perspective. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to approach this assignment:
Background: Can you choose the celebrity for this example, say, Laverne Cox, an African-American transgender woman and actress. She spends most of her time acting, advocating for transgender rights, and public speaking.Can you provide a brief background about this person including their age, gender identity, race/ethnicity, where they are from, where they live currently, and how they spend the majority of their time.
Doing Gender Intersectionally: Analyze how this person does gender on a daily basis. Consider how they dress/style themselves in relation to gendered norms, their mannerisms, the way they talk, and their body language. Reflect on how other aspects of their identity such as age, race/ethnicity, class status, culture, community, religion, sexuality, and disability status influence the way they do gender. Discuss the privileges and oppressions they face due to the way they do gender. Finally, connect at least one concept from the class to the way this person does gender. This could be biological determinism, social constructionism, discursive aggression, hegemonic masculinity, pariah femininity, intersectionality, undoing gender, etc.
Relevance and Connection of Pictures to Doing Gender and Intersectionality: Include at least two pictures that illustrate the points you made in the previous section. Make sure the pictures are clear, appropriately cropped, and labeled. Explain how these pictures relate to the concept of doing gender and intersectionality.
ASA In-text Citation: Make sure to cite all your sources in ASA format.
Remember, the goal of this assignment is to recognize the ways in which "gender is an accomplishment" and to build empathy for the different ways in which people learn to do gender from an intersectional lens.
