Economics for Everyone, a popular feminist economics blog, has asked you to be a guest blogger and create a blog entry presenting a gendered analysis of a national or global economic issue and related policy. Examples of potential topics: the labor market, anti-poverty programs, sex trafficking, globalization, microfinance. Your entry should be 500-750 words. A good blog entry is concise (within the page limit), grabs the reader’s attention (hopefully, enough to generate comments), integrate a table/chart/graph, references a wide-collection of sources by creating hyperlinks (using both class & new material), and is well written for a popular audience. This is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned about your selected topic. Your blog entry must have at least four links, which will include reference to at least 2 class sources. All links must be appropriate for classroom discussion and usage. This portion of the assignment is worth 80 points. Your entry needs to be posted on Canvas in the Discussions by the start of class on Thursday, March 3rd. Please bring your laptop to class where you will read and comment on your classmates’ blogs (worth 20 points). You should be prepared to offer insightful discussion on all of the possible topics (i.e., use what you have been learning and reference authors in your responses).
