Short writing assignment due at 5pm on Friday, February 5th at 5pm by email



This week, as we have read and discussed gender theory, I am asking you to write about your understanding of “social construction.” One of the primary insights offered by gender theorists is that gender is socially -- rather than biologically -- constructed. What does this mean to you? Please narrate your understand with a specific example, either from your own experience or something more generally.
