choose a news article to critically apply or relate to a concept/critical take of our texts (can use examples given, or choose your own),
1-2 page, typed,
double-spaced, discussion assignments. These will apply a critical
turn or certain key concepts from our readings to a contemporary news article
(see example selections below, under readings). Do not attempt to summarize the whole of reading in your application paper. A targeted, particular analysis is sought, where one demonstrates whether or how a reading adds some depth to the news article or shows how the article supports the class reading. So, the
application paper is a paper where you select an idea, critical
take, concept, etc. that you find of interest to our reading and show
how it is relevant to contemporary social issues (via a news article/discussion
– cases or examples are given in links
after the readings to consider you can
use what is selected, or reference a news article that you select). The key
is you show how an aspect of our reading (even if you are critical of it)
proved revealing/insightful when grappling with current events. In the
application papers we are testing the value/worth of certain theories or
conceptual thinking.
