Reference no: EM132245999 , Length: 7 pages
All students will submit a 5 to 6 pages paper (double-spaced, 12pt, Times New Roman) to the professor.
The cover page (optional) and the bibliography page should not be considered part of the paper's length.
The citation and references should follow the APA format guide
The TA/Prof will have a brief info session on citation format before the submission week. Students are required to write a term paper that focuses on a social movement incident (e.g., the Oka standoff, Occupy Wall Street, the 1979 Iranian Revolution), organization (e.g., Idle No More, labour unions), ideology (e.g., Anti-Globalization, women rights' movements, Black Lives Matter), or identity (e.g., First Nations, LGBTQ).
After selecting the focus of the paper, you will need to formulate a research question. You should try to answer the question using one or multiple perspectives learned in the course.
Students should be aware that using multiple perspectives may lead to a lack of analytical depth. This is something to consider when planning the paper. The paper should cite 1-3 academic sources (the textbook does NOT count).
Ideally, the references will include 1-3 pieces from the supplementary readings articles provided in the PAWS system, but you can search for other relevant academic sources.
Other works are acceptable if they are selected from well-respected, peer-reviewed sociology journals, such as Canadian Review of Sociology, Canadian Journal of Sociology, Mobilization, Social Movement Studies, British Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology, and Social Forces.
Use the library and/or Google Scholar to search for and download the articles. Nonacademic sources (media reports, blogs, column essays) are not encouraged and not counted; use them only when necessary and after the professor pre-approves
