Analysis of Political or Gendered Discourse
[WLOs: 3, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
For your Final Paper in this course, you will complete a research project that involves collecting and analyzing samples of political or gendered language use. You will consider how discourse influences and is influenced by contemporary institutions or ideologies, and how it shapes ideologies of power, control, injustice, inequality, social change, and emancipation. In addition, you will create a discourse of your own that responds to the topic discussed in your chosen samples. (Please note, there are two parts to this assignment.)
To begin, choose a public speech, news story, or opinion article on a trending topic of interest to you. It is recommended that you spend some time reviewing the discourse sample you have chosen. Consider the theories of discourse analysis studied so far in this course and how they might be applied to the discourse to better understand the authors intention, the works meaning, and possible interpretations by readers.
