Final assignment

Conduct short interviews and produce a final media-focused assignment alongside group members. In your online groups, you will collectively think up a leading question that you deem important to ask the wider public. As individuals, participants will conduct short interviews in their own communities to answer the question and prepare reporting on this. Your final product can be either video, audio, or written format, with a focus on gender inclusion (Examples: blog post, social media campaign, photo series, article, video feature, etc.)  It will be presented back to your group in the final week.
