Drawing on the policy-related research you have conducted in this class, you will now more fully examine one of the policy areas that interest you most. To do so, you will find nuanced information from peer-reviewed journal articles and other academic sources to give you a broader overview of one specific policy area. In your paper, you will address the following questions:
Which policy issue are you examining? Provide background information on your topic using policy-related concepts and ideas from your sources.
Why is this policy issue meaningful to you?
How might you study this issue if you were a researcher or policy analyst? What kind of study could you design, or what types of data sources might you use to analyze this policy area?
How do social inequalities impact individuals experiencing negative outcomes related to your policy issue?
What can be done to help reduce and challenge social inequalities related to your topic? How will it be accomplished? How could policy efforts play a role in challenging inequalities?
What are your suggestions for social change and reform?
In this course project, you will need to use the following sources to explore your policy topic in greater detail:
