I. Turn in Rosie Study Guides & Gender experiments
II. Pop quiz and Lecture: Gender and a Feminist approach
III. Discuss: “Patriarchy”
VIDEO: Gender & Communication
If you are a late add, we want you to catch up and learn some key ideas about sex and gender. You can watch a similar intro lecture of mine online:
- First, make sure you have, or please get the free RealPlayer at http://realplayer.com (be sure to choose free version).
- Once it’s installed, watch the first lecture on Sex & Gender here:
http://atn7.sjsu.edu:8080/ramgen/mediacontent/socmay3008.rm
– there’s a bunch of dead space and nonrelated stuff at the beginning, so skip to about 13:45.
- You cannot makeup the gender identity assignment mentioned at the end of the video, but please watch the video lecture — these are key concepts you will use throughout the class, and on exams.
Reading for next week is four articles, all in the reader:
The first two are also available online; you can download them by clicking on the links/titles.
The Course Reader is available MONDAY at San Jose Copy, 109 E. Santa Clara Street (@Fourth, one block north of MLK Library – from library, walk one block toward Santa Clara, make a left, and it’s half a block down on your left).
Lecture Notes:
Your first assignment is the gender identity experiment we discussed in class. Here’s the assignment handout.
The second assignment is the study guide for the film we watched in class (available at the IRC if you missed it)…
Rosie the Riveter
And fyi….Richmond is home to the national “Rosie the Riveter National Memorial Park, created by President Clinton in 2001. “The Bay Area’s numerous shipyards hired the greatest number of women defense workers; towards the end of the war, 27 percent of Richmond’s shipyard workforce was women, and 20 percent of the Moore shipyard in Oakland.” (–from “Women at War” website)
The Winter Intersession will NOT be using this webpage. Your course is on SJSU Blackboard at http://sjsu6.blackboard.com
