Tuesday, 20 October – Raising our
Consciousness: What is Feminism?
• DUE ASS. #2: feminist
event project elements
Everyone will say something today! Everyone should be in class today,
working with their group, and talking about the experiences that coalesce
around this set of projects. Prepare with your group before hand so that your
group’s presentation will allow everyone to be introduced and talk about
feminist process and CR, and discuss how definitions of feminism entail
collective action. See the Assignment TAB 2:Event for specifics for
preparation!
YOU MUST TURN SOMETHING IN
TODAY IN HARD COPY TO TA!
If, for any reason
whatsoever, you do not have your hard copy of ANY ELEMENT of Ass 2 now, you must turn in a
piece of paper with your name and explanation/s.
AS YOU COME INTO CLASS TODAY, FOR OUR FESTIVAL OF FEMINISMS!
=make sure your TA has a list of your group members and create a TITLE for your collective work.
=prepare your flyer for display and distribution!
=be sure your team can present quickly as soon as the previous group is done: we want minutes to hear about your stuff, not to wait for folks to gather themselves.
>>Each group
has only 4 mins to do their presentation! Each person in the group will
introduce themselves by first and last name. You should know first and last
names of everyone in your group too! Everyone in the group must say something
to the whole class. Each group should briefly: a) give the group’s definition of feminism, b) describe the
event, c) describe how these connect, d) describe the flyer and publicity, e) describe group
process and name some insights into CR
or feminist process that came out of the project. Do this quickly but
thoroughly! Give some great details but have it planned out so we can get
through all the groups in one class! [CLICK HERE for tips on speaking out in class! ]

>>Individually
you will turn in a page of writing on who did what work and offer your own
thoughtful analysis of it all. While working together and reading about CR
in hooks, Reed, and online (you might look around for additional stuff too),
consider how this project gives you some insight into the issues raised in
these. Especially consider the issues of process and consciousness-raising: How does this affect everyone’s thinking
about feminism? What does it take to create a feminist process as well as a
feminist event as well as a feminist definition of feminism? Be sure to
know everyone’s first and last names, list all these on all materials, and
discuss in detail who did what work, how the group conducted meetings, who could
meet when and why, what sorts of conflicts or just differences if any emerged
and around what issues. What work did
you do in particular and what role did you play in the group? Write this
out carefully and thoughtfully. As appropriate include footnotes and
bibliography when you paraphrase or quote someone else’s words. (This is
essential in all college papers by the way.) [CLICK HERE for everything you wanted to know about feminism....]===
