eflecting on our class (readings and discussions, in-class and on Piazza) (1)
discuss how best you have come to understand intersectionality (so, define it, in
your own words), including what has been most helpful in terms of our readings
(specific readings or case studies) and contemporary examples from media.
Additionally, (2) discuss your own intellectual development during this course
and whether you approach or frame race, class, and gender in media differently.
(3) Lastly, in tracing your own intellectual development, why do you think these
“three axes of identity and difference” are so powerful, yet the development of a
framework for tying them together “elusive?” >> This last question must be
addressed.
While this essay is a personal reflection, you still must engage with concepts
and materials from the semester (with necessary citations) and reflect on how
they have impacted your understanding of race, class, and gender in the media
through the lens of intersectionality.
