WGS 101 (Lewis): Introduction to Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies

We are defining news as something published by a reputable, regcognized, news source, such as a mainstream newspaper or broadcast outlet. You need to locate two news sources related to concepts raised in our course, published within the last year.

I recommend searching Global Newsstand (linked below), but you can also search using Google News.  These news sources should NOT be opinion pieces or blog posts, but rather reporting. If you are not sure if you have something that would meet the criteria, please check with me, no later than 12:00 pm, May 1st.

Scholarly sources are those which:

• 1) are written by experts (with academic credentials)
• 2) are vetted in some way for accuracy (like peer reviewed articles, and books from scholarly publishers)
• 3) introduce new concepts, or new ways of thinking about existing concepts.

The first databases in the list are specialized, subject databases.  Google Scholar is a tool that covers a wide array of subjects.  I recommend searching in at least two of these sources.
