Put together a presentation on a gendered health issue from
the news media. This assignment involves finding a news article or video,
creating a presentation.
The first step is to locate a news media article or video
that focuses on a health issue that can be examined from a feminist
perspective. The news media source must be publicly available online.
1.
Once you have selected
your news story, you must put together a ten-minute presentation summarizing
the article, framing the health issue through an intersectional, feminist lens and
situating yourself in relation to the topic.
2.
Use PowerPoint slideshow
program. Your slideshow should include approximately five to seven slides,
including a cover slide and a reference list slide. All references and
citations must conform to APA style.
Slideshow Content
Slide 1: Presentation info.
Slide 2: Summary of the news source. Be sure to include
what the issue is, where it is happening, who is impacted, and how the issue is
covered in the article. This element will answer topics such as “who,” “what,”
“when,” “where,” and “why” as they are available in the chosen news media
source.
Slides 3–4: Tell your audience, 1) What is the health issue
being discussed in your source? 2) How is gender discussed in your source?
and 3) Are there any gaps in your source’s coverage of the issue (perhaps gaps
that an intersectional analysis might reveal)? Include citations in your slides
and a reference list slide at the conclusion of your slide deck.
Slide 5: Situate yourself in relation to the issue and the
subjects of the story. This will include consideration of how intersecting
systems of oppression shape experiences of the health issue being discussed, as
well as how you relate to these systems and to the health issue being
considered. For example, are you a member of the group being discussed? Do you
have experience with the health issue being discussed?
Last slide: Reference list.
