Constructing Sex and Gender
The annotated bibliography is the next step in your semester-long research project: An intersectional social scientific analysis of a current event related to sex and
culture. The point of the project is to analyze why/how this event/issue is significant and further develops our understandings of key concepts relating to sex,
gender, and/or sexuality. Remember, students must ground their projects in one of the course’s major units: FIRST, you are to list your project topic, guiding
questions, and hypothesis. These could be nearly identical to what you wrote in your Research Proposal, but they should be at least a little more developed by now.
SECOND, you are to list 6 academic sources, Note: each source should be an academic one, meaning it comes from a scholarly book or from an academic journal. While you
can cite an Everyday Feminism article in your final paper, it will NOT count towards your 6 required academic sources. Following each source, students are to provide a
2-3 sentence summary of its thesis (i.e., its primary argument/claim). Of course, you will not need to have read the source in its entirety in order to list it in your
bibliography, but you should give it a quick scan in order to develop an idea of its thesis and how it could be useful for your project. Please list citations
consistently in MLA, APA, or Chicago style.
