Project #2 History – Introduction to Gay & Lesbian Studies

due 16 April

Choose a topic from history not covered in class and write a brief overview of what we know about it. You may choose either an issue or period from US history outside of the scope of the texts we read or write about another culture. Be sure to find some sources other than the internet! How does your topic relate to the issues covered in class? Are there parallels? differences? debates?

This project can be formatted either as a standard 5 page paper or in digital format as a webpage with links and comments, powerpoint, or film.

These will be presented in class as well as to the general public as part of Gaypril.

Post a brief written account to the discussion section consisting of

1. A short prose narrative of what your project is about (one paragraph, under one page)

2. What questions were most interesting?

3. What difficulties did you encounter researching your project?

4. A brief bibliography on the topic: what sources did you use or what would you use for further research.
