    For your posts I want you to discuss ways that you have experienced gendered institutions. Do not use a previously mentioned example. Provide an example of how you have experienced and/or seen how an institution was gendered? In your follow ups, discuss ways in which it could be made to be genderless and/or could make improvements to be more equal.

    One way I have experienced a gendered institution is through my work. I work as a 911 dispatcher, and the field is often seen as female dominated. However, we work alongside male-dominated fields, with law enforcement being the main one. At work, we have very specific policies we have to follow, one being a dress code. The policy was implemented so that I, along with other female coworkers, would not be a distraction to the male first responders.

    While I think it is common knowledge to dress in a professional manner, in a professional setting, it is off-putting that there is so much emphasis on my appearance solely because I am a female. We do have male dispatchers as well, and even though the dress code technically applies to everyone, the way it was discussed placed more responsibility on women to monitor how they look. This created a double standard where women were expected to adjust their appearance to prevent distracting others, while men were not held to the same expectation.

    Because of this, more concern was placed on making sure female dispatchers were not distracting male deputies rather than addressing the issue of men potentially objectifying womens bodies. Ultimately, it seems that the focus is on controlling womens appearance instead of acknowledging that the behavior of others may be the real issue.

    One way Ive experienced a gendered institution is through my schools dress code. Even though the rules are technically written for all students, its pretty obvious that most of the expectations fall on girls. All throughout high school, Ive seen girls get called out for things like tank tops, shorts being too short, or even just wearing leggings without a long enough shirt. Meanwhile, guys can show up in cutoff shirts or sagging shorts and barely get a second look. It always felt like the responsibility was on girls to not be a distraction, which basically puts the blame on them instead of addressing the behavior of the people who are supposedly being distracted.

    I remember one time in 10th grade when a friend of mine got pulled out of class because her shoulders were showing. She missed almost half the period just to get a jacket from the office. It didnt seem fair that her learning time was interrupted over something so small. Moments like that made it really clear to me how the dress code wasnt just a set of rules, it was a gendered system that treated girls differently and held them to stricter standards.

  • Sociology Question

    As noted in the course overview, you will not only address obtaining a grant, but maintaining one as well. Funding sources are very particular about how you monitor ongoing progress towards proposed outcomes. Part of the grant application and periodic reporting will be your evaluation plan. There are usually two types of evaluation: formative (or ongoing) and summative (or outcome-based). You will need to use the readings and resources provided in this course to make decisions about how you will show you are making progress. This step is similar to your practice evaluations of client progress. You have several choices ranging from quantitative measures such as surveys, arrest rates, hospitalization rates, and frequency of use, to more qualitative measures such as exit interviews, focus groups, or listening groups. Triangulation of data sources helps to ensure validity of results. Using three or more data sources (often mixing qualitative and quantitative measures) can be effective.

    In a 46 page paper, discuss your understanding of qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Then, discuss your understanding of formative and summative evaluations. Choose a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures for a formative (on-going) then a summative (final outcome) evaluation of each of your eight outcomes. For example, if you had an outcome that stated that 30-day use of alcohol among adolescents would be reduced by 50 percent, you could use an annual underage drinking survey to plot if a percentage of teens are consuming less alcohol in a 30-day period. This is considered a quantitative method. You could also gather a listening group of 1012 adolescents who would be open, honest, and knowledgeable, and ask their perception of alcohol consumption among teens. This is considered a qualitative method. You may choose to use the listening sessions as formative evaluation and pre-and post-survey for summative evaluation. You need to rely on scholarly sources to defend your choices for all items listed above.

    Essay Question 1: The title of this course is People, Organizations, and Systems. Over the course of the quarter, you read four required books. Choose one person from Entry Lessons who left the strongest impression on you. First, explain why this person made such an impression on you, linking it to experiences in your life. Then, using that persons experiences as an example, discuss how you understand the relationships among people, organizations, and systems. In this second part of the essay explain 1) how these three concepts can be defined, 2) how these different levels interact with one another, and 3) how these interactions shaped that persons life and experiences.

    Essay Question 2: Andrea Elliotts Invisible Child and Jesse Katzs The Rent Collectors both use the detailed story of a single person or family to illuminate larger social issues. Using one example from each book, talk about what systems (i.e., child welfare, school systems, law and immigration enforcement, criminal justice etc.) play a role in the circumstances these individuals face. Next, using at least two key concepts from Isabel Wilkersons Caste, analyze the structural forces shaping this persons experience. Finally, how do these personal stories make visible the impact of these social issues on people and families that statistics or policy reports might miss?
