Autobiographical Sketch

In this assignment write a 7 to 9-page paper, double-spaced, documenting the development of your gender from early childhood to the present, as well as how other identities (e.g., race, age, social class, etc.) may have influenced your gender, gender identity, gender roles, and gender presentation. Make note of specific incidents that have contributed to this awareness. Explore the attitudes, values and beliefs you have internalized as a result of your socialization. Identify those aspects of your awareness that came from personal experiences, media, experts, group experiences, or family interactions. Distinguish between the various sources as you write about your group memberships. In instances where you have no clear history to report, discuss and speculate about your lack of awareness.Papers are to be 12-point font size, Times New Roman, and have a one-inch margin around the sides. Title pages or abstracts are not necessary.
