QUESTION ONE
ENVOKING GENDER
Who we are as women and men is the product of many communication events that build upon our biological substrate. We feel normal, not constructed, but years of exposure to our language

and concepts is what has led us to feel normal in the way we enact our very personal gender identity. Reflecting that this gender construction is normally hidden from us, look at the world

around you, then at your dress, hair, speech, and behaviour. How much of those gender components only make sense because of the culture around you? How are those norms communicated to

you? If you wanted to behave differently than your social gender expectations, how would you communicate that difference? What would happen to you? What does that suggest about

communication and personal identity?

QUESTION TWO
Course Wrap-up
Try to imagine yourself sitting on a patio overlooking a busy harbour surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Around you sit the members of your class, everyone holding a favourite beverage.

The Sun beats warmly on your back and the salt tang in the light breeze refreshes your being. Now reflect on the last 11 weeks, what you thought about communication then and what you know

about it now. What has stood out? What did you learn that was surprising? What changes are you making in the way you communicate? What would you like to learn more about? Did you have

fun? Did your brain ache?
