Information, Technology, and Society in Asia 221

Recent Approaches to Gender and Sexuality
This graduate seminar explores recent developments in the field of gender and sexuality studies. In the era of #MeToo, intellectual approaches to gender relations have moved away from their earlier theoretical emphasis to a greater concern with social practice and redress. Our understanding of gender and sexuality today are shaped by such key concepts as consent, rape culture, privilege, and intersectionality. Moreover, forms of discrimination and social injustice are now experienced as data bias and contested through forms of digital feminist activism. The readings in this class focus almost exclusively on recent works in the field and draw on specific case studies from Japan (and China).

Please avoid long video presentations. 3.Term Paper (due: 1 August 2019) The format of the term paper may be either: 1) a literature review paper that evaluates the current state of the field on some aspect of media and gender theory; or 2) an original research paper that engages in a close textual analysis of the gender implications of a particular media text, performance, or event. 1)A literature review essay is a critical review essay that will address some aspect of gender theory as it applies to the media. The literature review paper should not merely summarize the readings, but critically evaluate the authors’ arguments and methodologies, and propose new directions for future research. The paper should be based on the critical analysis of at least 3-5 books, articles, and/or chapters. The literature review essay should be about 3,000-5,000 words. 2)A research paper is an essay or chapter of one’s own dissertation that is based on the collection of original data through either qualitative or quantitative analysis. The topic of the essay can be on any aspect of the media that relates to gender or sexuality.
