SOCI 164: Multicultural Studies - Fort Wayne

Students will be required to submit a semester project at the end of the semester. Projects can be creative projects such as a podcast episode, a classic research paper, etc.  I will ask for a proposal from students to help you shape the project.

The paper MUST explore some aspect of how race and ethnicity function within society and culture. Students are expected to take a "deeper dive" on some topic we cover in the semester.

Topic Ideas:

• Border Studies
• Variations in Assimilation
• American Segregation Immigration
• Practices and Policies
• Minority Group Resistance Movements
• Exploration of how Race is constructed and used
• Race, Ethnicity and Economy
• Meaning of ideas such as "American Melting pot" and "American Dream" Exploration of a specific person that demonstrates a relationship to race and ethnicity

Projects will be graded based upon:

• Ability to incorporate ideas and concepts of race and ethnicity discussed this semester.
• Quality of critical analysis used to analyze and critique a topic rather than simply one’s personal opinion.
• Strength of references used and use of academic sources to support your conclusions.
  • Students must use minimum of 3-4 ACADEMIC sources (not including the text) in their paper.
• Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation
• Proper use of citations for all quotes must be used. 
• Written options should be 4-6 pages in length using 12 point Times New Roman font.
• LATE PROJECTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
