Enduring Understanding
In this unit, students will explore, critique, and analyze how power is maintained through hegemonic ideas and beliefs. Students will reflect on the construct of gender and how it impacts expectations around gender and sexuality. This is to provide a tangible way for students to examine hegemony and counterhegemony. Students will be encouraged to challenge and interrogate constructs and expectations of gender norms through self-reflection and play, with a final project where students will create an outfit that exemplifies ideas of counterhegemony and showcase their work in a drag show.
