DISCUSSION BOARD #10 (DUE 4/19)

For this week’s discussion board, please respond to any (or all) of these questions:

• What do INCITE/Critical Resistance say about why prisons are not the solution for gendered violence? Based on Crenshaw’s talk and (if you watched it), Out in the Night– what evidence can you offer to support their argument?
• Based on the film(s) you watched, using Crenshaw’s framework of intersectionality, what do you see as the  the role of racism, or other structures of oppression like homophobia, in these stories of misogynistic violence?
• Based on the film(s) you watched, what do the victim-survivors say about their experience and how are their stories received– by their family/friends/colleagues, the legal system, the media?
• What questions do YOU want to bring to class for discussion?

The essay prompts are under “Assignments” and also below. Suggested due date: April 20.

Essay 4

Instructions/How to post here

How do feminist and queer interventions challenge ideas of the “nuclear family?” What do they say are the limits? What other visions do we see for the ways that families can be formed? What are your thoughts about family structure and what these interventions offer us?

Please title your post: First Name Last Name: DB 9 and select “DB 9” as the category for your post.

dear all,

The new modules usually go up Wednesday morning but there is a delay with this week’s module. Look out for it later today.

dear all,
I sent each one of you a personalized email with an update on how you’re doing in this class, what assignments you are missing, and any other pressing issues. This email went to your BMCC email address. Please be sure to check it and let me know if you have  any questions.

AND, if you have not yet signed up to meet with me, please do so right away. I added some more times. You can find the schedule here

See you tomorrow at 2pm!

 

You will see that on the right column of the site, there is now a category that says “Authors.” (See image below.)

If you click on the drop-down menu, you will see a list of your names. If you click on any author, you will then see a list of all of the posts written by the person. This is a way to get to all  your writing in one place.

 

Thanks to Melody for sharing that this would be helpful! I hope everyone can feel free to ask or let me know about things that would make the site more workable for you.

Next week is Spring Break! We do not have class.

Module 8 is up + I will also be sending some personalized emails to you over the next week about your assignments. If you have not sent me your proposal, please do so as soon as possible.
