Gender TOK Presentation Part 1 - Biology (Natural Sciences) and Cultural Constructs (Human Sciences)

                                          What role does biology and human society (culture) play in forming our knowledge claims for gender? Does our education and environment also play a role in how we define our gender identity?
NOTE: while this is very interesting, perhaps the students should have highlighted their TOK questions to emphasise the KNOWLEDGE ISSUES in the presentation.  Students are reminded to use TOK terms like AOK and WOK and the other terms we have discussed in class, claims, counterclaims, bias etc

PART 4
PART 5
Nonetheless, this is interesting but it could have been much better if the TOK had been more explicit. I also think it's a good idea to link your presentation or essay to the broader academic discourse by at least referencing a few scholars in your chosen area of knowledge.    

 Feminist authors are prominent in this discourse for example, though we are primarily interested in the views of students themselves.
