Final Readings Response

Final Readings Response Prompt

The final paper will follow the basic structure of a “What I Learned” piece in Contexts, a quarterly magazine published by the American Sociological Association. This is not a research paper. You are not expected to collect data, review literature we haven’t covered in class, or include a formal reference list. Rather, you should apply at least 3 theories or concepts we learned in the class this term to your life in a thoughtful way, discussing specific articles and authors. This means that you must cite specific course resources and articles (about 2-3 citations per written page). The paper should be written in the first person, describing some aspect of your own life experience as a young woman of Middle Eastern descent through a sociological lens, and may be no longer than 1200 words in length. Pay close attention to your word count: I will automatically deduct a letter grade if you go over the word limit.
