– Choose any “three” of the four questions listed below.
– When using the ideas of
others, you must make reference to their work-mention the scholars/works by
name (although formal citations are not required).
-Read each question carefully
and make sure to answer in full.
-Use examples to support your answers, explain
concepts and terms rather than just listing them, and identify relevant
literature whenever possible.
-Responses must be reflexive, synthetic, and argument-driven. You should draw
widely from multiple readings, incorporate a variety of weekly and course-wide
themes, and rigorously employ key concepts related to the study of feminist
political thought; women and politics; and women and international relations. Keep
your responses substantive, focused, and well-organized. Proper prose and writing
style matter, as do overall coherence and organization. Bullet points are not
acceptable.
