You will be required to write a persuasive paper addressing a subject related to Gender and Politics. The paper should be approximately 2,500 words and do not include the title page and bibliography. You’ll have significant freedom in choosing your topic, but you need to write a persuasive paper. This means you should make a claim or argument, and defend this based on actual data and academic evidence. You may include your own opinions, but you have to support your opinions with appropriate research. Your writing assignment should have a title, and should have a clearly articulated thesis in the introduction (first or second paragraph) with a plan statement and subheadings.
