Oct 21, 2023 Lyly Sun 2031 Dolly drive Richmond KY Dear, Dr Day I write this letter to complete my assignment that the topic about compile a bibliography of 10 sources you consulted as you prepared to write the article. At least five must be from scholarly sources published within the past five years found in the EKU Libraries databases and the remaining sources may come from credible internet sites, preferably credible newspapers (when in doubt, ask Dr. Day). The bibliography should be formatted properly in APA or MLA style (be very careful with citation generators!). You would not include this page within an actual letter, but it shows you researched the issue. Article:1 Given our course’s focus on media, women’s representation in film and TV stood out for nearly all students. Many of their lists noted tools they found useful for analyzing gender in media, especially classics like the Bechtel Test (and ways to push it further) and the male gaze , as well more recent theorization of the female and queer gaze. We also considered how TV has represented (and misrepresented ) abortion on screen. Students also enjoyed our course assignment in which they analyzed media of their choice (a TV show, film, commercial, celebrity, video game, and so on) using their newly learned feminist media concepts, an experience that will hopefully lend insight to their media lives going forward. Article:2 Disability studies added another rich dimension to students’ understanding of identity and social systems and structures of oppression. They were lucky to learn from fellow University of Tulsa Professor Jan Wilson and to read from her new book, Becoming Disabled: Forging a Disability View of the World . The point that disability is not a tragedy resonated with many students thinking on these issues for the first time. Article:3 This article discusses gender differences in attitudes toward Black feminism among African Americans. Many black academics, feminist scholars, and grassroots activists argue that African American women are doubly disadvantaged in the social, economic, and political structure of the United States.

Contemporary feminist scholarship has focused on the women's liberation movement and its ability to create strong bonds, raise awareness, and link consciousness to political activism among potential and active members. Political scientists have used survey items for African American women that were designed to tap feminist consciousness among white women.

Political scientists have used survey items for African American women that were designed to tap feminist consciousness among white women. Article:5Austerity is a feminist issue, given its disproportionate impact on women. Within Nottingham there has been a strong resistance to austerity. However, the key local anti-austerity groups neglect this gendered dimension , resulting in women forming their own community groups to provide practical support to women affected by the cuts. This article explores this feminist response to austerity, raising the question of why this gendered dimension is not visible within key local anti-austerity movements. It seeks to answer this question by drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with activists, paying close attention to the gendered barriers and exclusions to activism that exist. In particular, this article explores the complex relationship between care and activism that underlies many of these barriers. Finally, it offers some potential solutions to this key problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Article:6 WGS explores all aspects of gender, including men and masculinities , ranging from toxic examples to the theory of hegemonic masculinity and my own research on dude masculinity . Men experience and navigate gender, even if they maintain a more powerful position within a patriarchal society, though students also minded bell hooks that all men don’t experience equality either. Many of the men in the course thought critically all semester long about how masculinity norms have shaped, and in some cases harmed and limited, them. Article:7 . Given my students’ relative youth, de Beauvoir’s writing on the power of childhood to socialize us into gender roles and behaviors resonated strongly.

They thought critically about how everything from baby clothes to children’s toys to adolescent sports all shape gender. Relatedly, they liked this episode of The Daily Podcast , “Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts.” Article:8 Intersectionality was a term students had often heard of before taking the course, but they left with a fuller understanding of it, especially its complex focus on identity’s relationship to interlocking social systems that cause oppression and privilege. Unpacking gender as a social and cultural construction also proved a foundational concept, something students knew in their bones, but then grew to have the words to fully articulate, especially the critique of the gender binary . These concepts shaped the students’ knowledge of what gender is, how it is experienced and embodied, and informed their thinking around truly inclusive feminist futures , which they further explored in our final reading from Sara Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life . Article:9 In this paper, we follow Jelena Savić, the only Romani critical race theoretician, poet, and decolonial activist in Serbia in her call for unpacking the colonial legacy and whiteness behind the feminist politics. Accordingly, we trace the historical trajectory through which whiteness has been introduced into and became paradigmatic of specific post-Yugoslav Serbian feminist activism and theories. In line with Savić's critique of the feminist politics in Serbia, we identify two types of gadji (non-Roma European) feminism (s): gadji saviorism and gadji performative solidarity. In the first section we outline the notion of gadji saviorism as an optics perceiving Roma women as victims of the purportedly backward Romani way of life and the supposed inherent poverty from which Roma women need to be "saved" or "uplifted" by the enlightened Eurocentric culture(s). We point both to similarities and differences between colonial-state antiziganist subjugation of Roma women and children in the Austro-Hungarian empire/kingdom and the contemporary Serbian feminist "savior politics" aligned with transnational European and national Serbian policies. In the second section, we look at the (post)socialist genealogies behind the concept which Savić identified as white feminist "performative solidarity" and its race-blind approach to both feminism and solidarity based on its (self)conflation with the ideology of "sisterhood and unity". Our research shows how these ideas nested in the Serbian feminist scene following the fall of socialism and the end of Cold War. Article:10 . Students loved Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein’s, Data Feminism , which is available open access online to all. Students appreciated the authors’ point that nothing is outside of datafication today, but data science
