Feminist Citizenship in the 21st Century

What does it mean to be a feminist global citizen in the 21st century? Perhaps it means to be someone who does the work of feminist advocacy with a “global feminist consciousness that challenges the interplay of patriarchal, capitalist, and racist power relations” (Reilly, 2007, p. 184).For this research report and presentation, you will be reporting on a group or organization that is doing the work of feminist advocacy. As part of the project, you will be doing research on the issue the group focuses on. (Note: if your organization is large and works on many issues, choose ONE to research and write about for this report.) Your organization can be local, national, or global in scope.

Guidelines for Research Report: Your report should follow this format:

Introduction of Group/Organization (1/2 page to 1 page): Introduce organization (Tell us what we need to know about this organization. You might think about questions like: who are they?, when were they founded?, what do they do generally?, what is their reputation?, etc. )

Discussion of problem/issue (approximately 2-3 pages): What is the problem or issue that the group is working on? Why is this issue important? Describe the problem/issue thoroughly. Do RESEARCH. (To support your discussion of the problem, do not rely on the group’s website for information. Do your own research.)

Discussion of group’s advocacy strategies/solutions (approximately 2-3 pages): You might think about answering questions like: What is your group doing to solve the problem? What kinds of actions are they engaging in? What strategies are they using to encourage change? What solutions do they offer?Grading Criteria for Research Report (THESE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS):

-Does it contain the three required sections?

-Is the information in the three sections useful? Are the topics well covered?

-Is the report well written with well-constructed sentences and very few grammatical and spelling errors?

-Does the report include at least THREE credible research sources (not including the organization)? Is at least ONE of these sources an academic source (an academic peer reviewed journal or academic book)?

-Is information cited correctly using parenthetical citations in the text?

-Is there a correctly formatted Works Cited page at the end of the report in either APA or MLA style?

Culture groups


Critical reflections are short papers where you will address the inquiry, evidence, method, theory, and analysis in the course readings. They must demonstrate proficiency in your understanding of the key concepts assigned and how they intersect with your interests.This CR requires that you demonstrate your sociological knowledge of culture and how
cultural ways of knowing and processes of socialization are reflected in society. After completing the Culture Data workshop (see handout on Module 5) you will reflect on your experience and what you learned about a cultural group you are part of.Here is what you will do:

1. Description: Describe the cultural group you chose to explore and explain why you choose this group. Details matter here.

2. Reflection: Read through your field notes and reflect on your experience, telling us what your “observations” have taught you (and can teach us!) about societal structures, norms, expectations, and agents of socialization of the subculture you have chosen to concentrate on. In your reflection you should consider the following questions:

• What aspects of material culture did you notice in “the setting”? This can include physical surroundings, architecture, equipment, clothing, artwork, food, or other objects. Can you explain the meaning, function, or purpose of particular items of material culture?

• What did you notice about the language in the setting? Are there any particular words, terms, mottos, or sayings that are commonly used among members? What else did you notice about talk and interaction in the setting? Were there any signs or other written materials associated with the setting?

• What aspects of symbolic culture are part of this subculture? Describe values that members of the group uphold, listing at least three values that are key to the group’s culture. What are the group’s ideas, beliefs, or attitudes? Does the group have a mission?

• What kinds of social norms guide the behavior of individuals, and how are these norms relate to group values? What are the folkways of the group? How do these folkways shape what members do or say? What are some of the rules governing members? Why are they important?

• Are any rituals, celebrations, or observations, that are important to this group? What do these events teach us about subculture values?

• What did you observe in the setting that seemed especially familiar or unfamiliar to you? Was there anything that surprised you? What insights were you able to gain by suspending ethnocentrism and practicing cultural relativism?

• How do your subculture’s practices map against dominant cultural expectations?
