ENGL 2880.101: Expository Writing: A Boy Named Sue (Fall 2009)  Tags: linguistics_language_literature film writing expository_writing  

“What are the connections between biology (male, female, trans, inter-sex), gender, (butch, femme, girlie-boy, masculinefeminine) and sexual orientation (gay, straight, queer, bisexual)? How do we value desire in our own bodies and decide when to place them in proximity to others’? How do we perform our gender while sitting in the audience watching everyone else perform? And how are our performances altered by the tensions between sexual majorities and sexual minorities?  We’ll read such authors as Judith Butler, Susan Faludi, Leslie Feinberg, Robert Bly, and Li Young Li. We’ll watch clips of films such as Brokeback Mountain, Fire, Boy’s Don’t Cry, Go Fish and The Laramie Project."

In this library session we will discuss and practice a variety of research strategies for finding and evaluating information using the resources and services provided by the Cornell University Library.
