PLEASE ONLY PICK TWO READINGS FROM EACH THEME THAT HAVE THE LETTER “G” in front of it. That was the only book I was able to attach to use for the assignment readings. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Gender_Outlaws/iMY_BAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=9781580053082&printsec=frontcover
The book ^
Your response must refer to something specific in at least four of the readings assigned for that week, 2 of which should be readings listed under “Theme 1 Readings” and the other two listed under “Theme 2 Readings”. our reading responses will not be graded, but they must include sufficient, thoughtful comments that demonstrate your understanding of the reading in order to receive credit. If I determine that your response should not get credit, I will provide you with feedback. Usually, uncredited responses are too vague, too short, or refer to readings assigned for a different week. Each credited reading response is worth 4% of your final course grade [maximum of 20%].
