Assignment:

First choose a physical public location to explore. Examples include public library, medical office, workplace, school, or mall/stores. In the chosen space, look for both examples of heteronormativity or cisnormativity (e.g., generic stick figures on warning signs look the same as the generic figures designating men's bathrooms) and counter-examples (e.g., images that depict queer pairings). Then include the following:

List your observations of heteronormative or cisnormative cues and queer-affirming cues.
What surprised you?
What did not surprise you?
Did you see any connections to other systems of normativity (e.g., gender, racial, class, ability)?
Identify at least two actions you could take to change the environment. Ideas may include: contacting administrators about creating and
labeling accessible gender-neutral restrooms, ensuring that school posters are inclusive to a diverse representation of students, displaying queer-affirming symbols on classroom and office doors, training others at your workplace on these issues to continue discussions of dismantling heteronormative spaces.
