Description There are now three different options for the worksheet (listed below). While for each you still need to provide a discussion question and a comment, you can choose to turn something in that is different from answers to the provided questions. Whatever you turn in should still fit the standards of the universal rubric, respond to the entirety of the readings, and be around 400+ words at minimum (comparable to the length of standard question answers). The provided questions (at the bottom of this list) Comprehensive notes – break each reading down into the following four components through quotations and paraphrasing with page numbers: central thesis (main argument), main theoretical and methodological concepts/arguments (arguments that detail the approach the author takes), evidence and analysis from the case studies, and conclusion. If you’d like to format this as a visual diagram (still with quotations/page numbers), that is also welcome. Reading response – using at least 6 quotations (3 from each reading), respond to the readings in some way that builds on the reading. This can be through providing examples applying the theoretical and methodological claims to examples, reflecting on your thoughts on the reading, or otherwise building/extending the subject of the readings. Provided questions: Both the Rand and Ferguson readings address the way that queer/LGBTQ+ social movements are remembered - what are the similarities and differences in their approaches? What are some lessons to learn from the arguments that they forward? Strategic essentialism is basically when a group mobilizes around an idea of an essence in an identity (a stable identity that ignores complexity and differentiation within a group) in order to make strategic political moves. Olaniyan analyzes strategic essentialism in the context of how queer African activists narrate the history of queer identity - what does Olaniyan's analysis have to say about "contemporary avenues of queer African discourse about political change"? What is one (or more) question(s) the readings inspire you to offer to the class for next week’s discussion? What is one (or more) comment that you would want to offer for discussion? Also, please indicate if you would mind if I were to use your question for class, and if yes and if I do use your question, then please indicate if you would want to be referenced anonymously.
