Welcome to Your New Blog!
Welcome, English Honors, 1020, to your new blog. Here, I have pulled together some resources that I hope will be helpful to you as you negotiate a topic for your project, as you decide upon the research question you hope to answer, and as you begin to compose your essay. Commencing a research project can be daunting--particularly when facing the broad topics we'll be looking at this term. Choosing a topic, then narrowing it to a specific question, finding resources that suit your inquiry are all steps that require guidance and patience. Therefore, my intention here is not to make your task more complex, but to simplify it, if in only some select ways.
Consider this blog your resource on gathering ideas, shaping your project, and deciding what really is most important to your goals.
While I will be making posts intended to provide you with a starting point or to offer help, or to share some interesting item to add to the discussion, I hope you will take a moment and check out what I have pulled together so far. I have added along the sidebar, links to informative articles, news items, and some media: specifically Ted Talks, which offer you a chance to attend a lecture free of charge, without leaving your seat, and hear insight from a wide range of professors, business professionals, activists, educators, and politicians. I have arranged these items according to topic to facilitate your access to the information.
Under Feminism/Gender Issues, noted authors and activists comment on such issues as why we should all be feminists; how sexism in advertising can be potentially dangerous; and gendered spaces, body consciousness, and lookism.
In Gender and Sexuality you will find not just talks on the experience of gender fluidity, transgender, and sexuality, you will discover links to some of the most outspoken and audacious personalities who have made a mark for themselves through YouTube.
Under the category of Race, you will hear from commentators on the power of privilege, the nature of racism, why it persists, and the socially constructed notion of race.
Interspersed with these links to media items, I have provided links to full-text articles from academic journals to help generate ideas and get you started.
