      I would probably use this as a closure piece to a lesson on integration. It brings to life the ideas I'm describing.

Small Insults and Doing Gender - 1 views

    Thinking of gender as an achievement
  •  
    We usually think of gender as a set of traits (as in femininity and masculinity), a role (as in scripts for behavior), or a social variable (as in salary differences). The doing of gender discuss in this article is different than all of these. Doing gender shifts our attention away from the inner person and to the interaction, where we can see gender as an achievement. I will use this in my introductory module preceding a observation activity of watching a conversation between men and women in a social setting. The final culminating activity will be an blog reflection.
