To conclude this module, I am asking you to choose one of the social institutions discussed in this chapter and describe how this institution can serve as a site of joy, pleasure, connection, or community, even while also producing inequalities.
You will compose a 2 page paper describing how your chosen social institution serves as a positive space and how this relates to the various identities and ideologies which inform that space. You should not avoid the more negative or unequal aspects of your chosen institution but rather discuss how they are happening alongside the positive aspects. You should be specific, so either discuss your own personal experiences in your chosen institution or do a small amount of research about an actual real-life example beyond your experience. For example, you might write about your own family, a specific magazine, or a specific healthcare clinic. You might write about your own work if it intersects with one of these institutions or your own personal experiences in your private life.
