ESSAY CONTENT: Your research essay should fill in and expand the outline you produced. Your writing should follow carefully the structure of your
argument. As we practiced in class, the paper should identify (1) the gender/sexuality power relationship, the subject or problem at the core of your
study, (2) the agents or actors or institutions in the particular country or case study context and their role deploying or resisting or conditioning
this gender/sexuality problem, (3) the mechanisms or factors or processes that enable this power or subject to “produce” gender/sexuality in
particular ways, and (4) a brief view of the global relevance, solidarity, comparison or resistance that echoes or responds to this particular
problem or subject of gender/sexuality.
SOURCES: You should have at least as many sources as you had in the Outline. Additional references can be included. In making your
citations/bibliography you can use the Chicago Style of citations/bibliography, described here:
