Based on the readings assigned in Weeks 12-13, select one of the many themes or recurring issues from the readings regarding cisheteronormative beauty standards in relation to gender and sexuality in a global market, or capitalism. And then research a global current event to write, analyze, and make connections about the issue or topic you’re exploring. Focus on global issues, but they can be news reported in or outside of the US. News must be reported between 2020-2024). Be sure to bridge texts (the readings and current event) and put them in dialogue with each other to explore possible connections and contentions.
