I have the moar details on my QS final portfolio!
Wish people wouldn't say 'genre' when they mean 'medium'.
So! It looks like a short story will work as long as I also have art and a podfic, or whatever. But I'm eyeing that last item on the list. Could someone clarify the concept of 'zine' for me? I vaguely understand it to be a multimedia collection of things on a theme, for which people send in submissions that an editor curates...
ETA: Asked prof for clarification, and while he didn't say whether my assessment of 'zine' is accurate, he did say I wouldn't need submissions from others. (He also said he likes the idea of a short story with illustrations and an audio component.) That said: I spent the whole time I was cooking breakfast and making tea (...these were sequential activities, because I did not have the sense to put the teakettle on till after I finished eating) thinking about the logistics of me editing a zine. It even has a name, assuming nobody's taken it already (and a cursory DuckDuckGo search suggests not): Translucent.

Your project asks you to choose a topic within Queer Studies, situate your own experiences in relations to this topic, engage in research around this topic, and create a project that you can implement outside of this classroom. For instance, you might decide to create a podcast about LGBTQ issues, design a workshop for an event, or write a song about an historical event. It can be anything you would like to do, as long as it focuses remains within Queer Studies and has a real-life application outside of this class. You need to use at least three genres for the final project (i.e. text, image, sound, material object). These should work together as a whole to deliver the information or message you would like to an imagined audience outside of this class.
You can do anything you want for this project, as long as it's engaging Queer Studies from an intersectional analysis. This project is for you to bring theory into practice through research and application.
Pick a topic that you care about, want to learn more about and that you can actually use outside of this class.
Here are some ideas:
• Create a short film
• Create a comic
• Design a website
• Create a performance and share it online
• Design a workshop and include all materials online
• Write and perform song and share it with the class
• Create an art piece
• Write something for publication
• Create an educational presentation
• Design a direct action
• Create a zine
