For this first Module Assessment, you will examine an international, credible news story or current event related to children and/or adult dilemmas from an expert consultant’s perspective. You will be asked to develop a series of talking points for a panel discussion you have been invited to attend.

  • Identify an international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated (e.g., child labor, immigration, migration, refugees, international scores on standardized tests).

Taking the Measure of Sexism

Taking the Measure of Sexism:

For this week’s forum question, review the article  “Taking the Measure of Sexism: Facts, Figures, and Fixes.”  (Links to an external site.)   Next, explore the  National Museum of Women in the Arts  (Links to an external site.) .  You should begin with artists from the  21st Century  (Links to an external site.) .  Continue to the “Learn” and “Support + Advocate” sections to learn more about diverse women creating culture today.

 

After reviewing these resources, identify one contemporary (still living) creative woman with whom you were previously unfamiliar, and discuss her contributions to contemporary culture.  In your discussion, compare her visibility with creative women from other eras, such as the Renaissance, Victorian, or even the modern period.  How do women continue to face challenges with visibility or representation?

 

In your initial response, embed a multimedia piece such as a video clip, an audio clip, or an image.  You should discuss the multimedia that you include and explain its significance to your argument.  For video and audio clips, please limit the length to five minutes.  You can post a longer clip, but if you do, you should specify the part of the clip that you want the class to view/hear (no longer than five minutes) by including the time stamp range.  Your posts should include textual examples from this week’s required or recommended resources to support your arguments.  If needed, you may supplement your course content with outside resources, but you should select first from our assigned resources (multimedia and readings).

 

Your initial post is due on Thursday, and your replies to classmates are due on Monday.  You should post in the discussion on a total of four days during the learning week.  Your posts should have a combined word count of at least 500 words.
