Questions:
1. De?ne sexuality by drawing on Allen (2010). How do you identify in terms of gender? Is this identity important to you? Explain why or why not.
2. What sources have taught you about sexuality (e.g., parents, friends, favorite media, teachers, coaches)? Robustly describe at least two different instances where you learned about sexuality in your formative years
3. How do you communicate your sexuality (e.g., language choices, hobbies)? Do you ever make concerted attempts not to communicate your sexuality? Explain.
4. Do you think your attitudes about sexuality intersect with other facets of your social identity, for instance: your age? your race? your ethnicity? your sexual orientation? your nationality? If so, how? Offer at least one example. If not, why not?
5. Think about a time when you witnessed a problematic disciplining of sexuality (e.g., at school, work, in your family, with friends). Describe the situation robustly. Then, talk about how you or someone else could have interceded safely in that situation to interrupt the reproduction of queer-phobic norms.
6. Each week, you will offer us one potential discussion question relevant to the material covered in this unit. A good question requires that you demonstrate both factual knowledge of the content and comprehension of how that knowledge applies to human communication, For example, you might apply a concept from the text to expand our understanding of, or elicit our opinion about, a dilemma of communication in everyday life or the media. A good question is one that will require us to use our critical analysis skills and course concepts. It requires a higher level of thought than simply looking up an answer in the textbook. it should also be substantively grounded in reality. For example, asking a question such as, "What would happen if identity didn't exist?" is not based in reality and it does not draw intelligently on course concepts. Offer a thought- provoking discussion question that draws on concepts from our reading and that addresses or expands upon a signi?cant social or'cultural issue.
