Gendered Life Interview Plan: Each student will choose one person to interview about how gender has affected that person’s life. You may choose anyone that you know personally whom you think might have an interesting story to tell – a family member, a friend, a co-worker, etc. Do not choose someone whom you do not know in person (a celebrity, a famous YouTuber, a random person on the LRT, etc). There is no set list of questions you must ask. Part of the challenge is coming up with questions for your interview which will enable your person to talk in detail about how they have experienced gender. You might find it useful to keep a running list of possible questions as we go through the first section of the class, when we talk about diverse perspectives on gender. For this assignment, you will submit • A short description of the person you have chosen (please don’t use their real name) • A preliminary description of the questions you will ask or the topics you will cover in your interview. The total interview plan should be between 100 and 300 words. Here is how your plan will be marked: 2 points for identifying a person to interview. 3 points for providing a thoughtful and reasonably detailed set of questions or topics to cover in the interview You will submit your plan through the Gender Life Interview Plan portal in the Assignments section of Canvas any time before the end of Week 5 (to be precise, before 23h59 on the Friday of Week 5)
