5 Read and include reference to at least one academic article that we have not covered
I have also attached the instructions onto this order. Keep in mind that it requires 1 outside source that is a research article. Ideally, use at least 2 of the class sources. The class sources you may use are:
1) Jeremy Waldron ‘Dignity and Defamation: The Visibility of Hate’
2) Catherine MacKinnon ‘Equality and Speech’
3) Eleonore Neufeld ‘Pornography and Dehumanization: The Essentialist Dimension’
4) Jasmine Gunkel ‘Having Your Porn and Equality Too’
