In March of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused most university education to go virtual, we were starting a new quarter and were scheduled to teach “Sociology of Gender.” Having no experience with online teaching, nor pandemics, we faced the question of: how do we teach about gender inequality, online, in this context? In this essay we describe an assignment (linked here) that we developed as part of our strategy to address this question, as well as what we learned from reading the students’ essay responses to the assignment. In the course, Taylor was the instructor of record and developed the assignment while Gonzales was the teaching assistant and graded all of the student essays.
