Given that students are learning more about anthropology this semester, everyone is tasked with completing a semester-long project.  This project will be completed in stages.  There are four stages taking place over the course of the semester.  These are outlined below.

  1. Select an Anthropological Skill Set: What anthropological skills are most applicable for you in your career path?

Students select one or two skills among those used by anthropologists (listed and summarized in this document) on Week 2 in order to practice it/them over the course of the semester and especially for completing the final project

  1. Select a Topic of Interest or a Research Question: What stories are not being told by mainstream sources, and about whom?  Why or why not?  

Choose a topic of interest related to your selected skill by no later than Week 13.  

How do I organize my project?  

Here are some guiding questions and points that can help you find some direction.  

Identify a topic in the news about a story that is being under-reported or reported in a biased way.  Formulate a critique of the shortcomings with the ways in which your story of choice is being constructed and narrated.  

  1. Write Up Findings: Notes on coverage (WKS 3-14) to analysis (WKS 14-15)

Based on observations made about the story you are covering throughout the semester, use two readings from the syllabus to write up an analysis that includes descriptions of coverage of your story, observations about the ways in which the popular narrative has been shaped by different factors (i.e., politics, the media, people on the ground), and draw from the two articles you have selected to analyze the problems with coverage for sharpening your analytical skills.  

  1. Bibliography: 

Cite your two sources using the standard style of your Major.  Your citations should look something like this:

Martin, Emily.  (1991) The Egg and the Sperm: How Science has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles in Signs Vol. 16 No. 3 (Spring): 485-501.

Your final submission should be 3-4 pages, double-spaced, in regular 12-point font with 1-inch margins and in standard font (e.g., Times New Roman, Arial).  No cover page is necessary.   No late work will be accepted as final course grades must be submitted soon after the projects deadline to the Registrars Office for finalizing students records.  Exceptions and extensions for individuals are unfair to the group.  Further, all work must be submitted via SafeAssign on Blackboard to be vetted for originality.  No emailed work will not be accepted given that attachments would not be checked for plagiarism by SafeAssign beforehand.

Alternately

For students with artistic interests who can use a creative outlet, you can make a short graphic novel instead of writing a paper.  Create a three-page narrative illustrating one concept covered this term that you find especially useful for understanding an under-reported or ill-reported story.  You must still select a news story related to crime or the criminalization process and refer to one bibliographic reference from the syllabus.  Rather than analyzing the nature of news coverage, you can illustrate why the research concept you have selected is helpful for understanding the context of your news story.  As an example, you can illustrate the struggle with grappling with genocide (Waterston & Kukaj 2007; Sanford & Lincoln 2010) and apply it to a story, in just one example, about the underreported crisis in Myanmar, incorporating one particular story you found interesting featured in the papers.  Make sure you cite your sources in a bibliography at the end of your work, much like you would in the case of a standard academic essay submission.
