Holidays as Kin Work In this assignment, you will analyze the role behavior of the members of your family (or chosen family) around the organization, production, and celebration of a holiday that includes a large meal. You may reference the most recent holiday of Thanksgiving if you celebrated it, or another holiday if you were limited because of the ongoing pandemic. Think about different aspects of your holiday. Is there a strongly gendered division of labor? In what ways? Are there negotiations, power struggles, alliances, conflicts, costs, or payoffs? Clearly indicate whose roles were what, including yours. Finally, how would a feminist theorist seek a solution to a strongly gendered division of labor (apply this to your own situation if possible)?
