For project
2, I have decided to focus on metalheads. I’ve
decided to research this group because I feel that they are stereotyped a lot and I find it interesting, especially because I enjoy a bit of that music myself. I will be looking at texts about this particular group, so
that I can see what others think about them and feel towards them. For texts, I plan to mainly analyze articles
found online, as well as any videos that hold relevance.
Hi Kylie,
ReplyDeleteIn general, it sounds like you have an idea of how to start thinking about this assignment. However, it's important that you pick a group that is marginalized or "othered" NOT by their own choosing. That is, a group who is marginalized for a part of their identity that they have no control over (so, something like, raise, gender, sexual orientation, disability, class, religion, etc.). So, in this case, though I think you're right metalheads are marginalized, this is an identity they chose rather than one they had no control over. You'll want to pick another group. When you have an idea of what you might like to do, please send me an email so that I can give you more feedback.
