WGSS 365 Gender, Sex, and Law (Skerrett)

OneSearch ==> broad and includes a lot of types of information

• Books
• Documentary Films
• Scholarly articles 
• Government resources and/or Non-Profit Organizations
• Statistics/Data
• Subject Resources - similar types of information, but more focused within content

Topic Idea: Indigenous women and Latin America ===> what questions can you ask about this topic to focus?

• Subjects: gender and X (I see in this case that violence is a subject -- result list)
• legal pluralities ==> think of a topic from your class or that you've read about related to gender issues -- I see an entry marked "review" -- it's a book review of a book on the topic.
  • Indigenous Women and Legal Pluralities in  Latin America
    • Footnotes, references, use these to follow the scholarly breadcrumbs and conversations. This is an edited book, so the chapters are written by different scholars.  What other work have they written? References - listed by chapter in this book.
       
    • REMEMBER -- continue to ask questions: 

      • [from your research overview by Dr. Skerrett] Are there clear advocates and dissenters?  Who benefits and who is disadvantaged?  What social conditions drive advocacy or resistance?  Always bring an intersectional lens to your analysis.  Remember:  critical analysis is intersectional analysis!
