First, write a 500 word or more reflection that discusses two of the required readings and one of the optional readings for this section. Questions that you may address in your reflection include: What are the broader themes around the weekly readings? What are the main arguments in each reading? What contributions or advances did the author(s) make to the study of gender? What methodological decisions were made? What are some critical critiques of the readings (e..g theoretically or methodologically, or other considerations)? How are these readings connected or in contrast to each other? What are the real world implications to the articles?

You will be writing 2 different reflections for two sets of 3 readings.

The first reflection is based on readings about masculinities: Connell(2020) Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Shabazz(2009).

The second reflections is based on readings about black feminism and intersectionality: Collins(2002) Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Collins(2015).
