For your final project, you will choose an OITNB episode from season 2 or season 3 and develop an argument driven analysis that attends to representations of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and/or ability in relationship to the prison industrial complex. You may focus on one character, or you may choose to attend to a particular theme/trope and the way in which it is represented.

 

Your credibility will be bolstered by the (minimum) five academic sources you choose to consult to back up your central claim. These sources should allow you to create a more insightful analysis that helps you take an intersectional approach to your analysis.

 

You will publish your 1500-2000 word analysis to a WIX website, which you will be responsible for designing. Keeping the power of rhetorical choices in mind, the aesthetics of your website, and the decisions you made that help you communicate with your reader, will be taken into consideration during the assessment of your written work.
