Student Examples
Team Project: Exhibition
As the final project for my introductory Women and Gender Studies course, students plan, edit, and present (as part of a small group of 3 to 4 students) a small, contained “exhibit” related to a specific concept (such as gender and body image, the “second shift,” etc.) discussed in this course. This exhibit could be meant to teach others or make an argument based on the course’s readings. Whatever students choose, the exhibit must be understood without having to be explained, outside of the accompanying artists’ statement.
Student Examples
In this exhibit, students created a game working through a young woman’s morning, and the different choices she could make. Each of these choices represent the different social and cultural forces young women experience in their daily life.
