Order Info Сustomer's subject: Gender & Sexuality Studies Topic: Sex Work Type of work: Essay Level: College Number of pages: 5 pages = 1375 words Formatting style: APA Language Style: English (U.S.) Sources: Hi everyone, Here is the information about the media assignment. Please review it carefully. The aim of this assignment is to get you to to apply some of the ideas that you've encountered in the readings and lectures to stories related to sex work in the news. As such, assignments must substantively engage with the course material to receive a passing grade. To complete this assignment, you will find news two articles related to the topic of sex work from reputable, English language, online news sources. One article must be about Canada, the other must have an international focus. The news articles must have been written in the last two years. You will summarize and analyze the articles. Your analysis must engage with some of the topics, concepts, themes, and debates from the course material (lessons, readings, etc). Your assignment should be close to 1500 words, double-spaced, 12pt, and in Times New Roman font. Please include page numbers. Also be sure your assignment includes your name, the date, your student number, and a title for the assignment (You can put all of this on a separate cover page if you wish). The assignment will be submitted as a single .docx file through the "Assignments" tab on the course Brightspace page. Information about grading criteria can be found in the assignment rubric, which can be found through the "Assignments" tab. Here is some additional information about what is expected for this assignment: First, what is reputable? Any major newspaper or news website is fine. What I'd like you to stay away from is blogs, or things like press statements from governments, corporations, or non-profit organizations. Please also avoid academic journal articles. Examples of news sources for Canada include: CBC, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, etc. There are many English-language international news sources. For example: CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, Haaretz, The Times of India, or The South China Morning Post. Articles published in English by major news agencies like The Associated Press, Bloomberg News, or Reuters are also all fine. It's fine if both of your articles are from the same publication as long as one article focuses on Canada, and one has an international focus. Articles relating to the United States count as international. Either news reporting or editorials are ok, as long as they discuss sex work. Please do not purposefully choose the articles that I discuss at different times in the course (I understand that this might happen by accident since you haven't gotten through all the lecture material yet). How do you relate the articles to the course content? There is no one right way to do this. However, a reasonable approach would be to seek out articles that directly relate to the discussions we've had on course themes and topics (for example, policing, legal regulation, or activism). If you choose articles about human trafficking or child sex trafficking, you still are expected to discuss these topics in relation to the course material. This means having at least some discussion about how these issues relate to voluntary adult sex work. Do the articles have to relate to each other? If the two articles that you choose easily relate to each other, then great! However, this is not a requirement. You can simply say in the introductory paragraph of your assignment that you'll be discussing one article and then another. Can you reference material that is not included on the course outline or lessons? Yes, you may also reference scholarly studies (academic journal articles, scholarly books, etc) for this assignment, so long as you are using them to analyze your chosen news articles. However, you must be sure to also engage with course material, as discussed above. How do you cite the articles and course material? You can use any standard citation style for this assignment. Failing to properly cite and reference all information will result in a failing grade and could result in an academic misconduct investigation. . It might be helpful to review my previous announcement on citations. Please be sure to include web links to your news articles. This will make grading much easier.
