It is an extended, independent research project. I should produce an original, high-quality research paper on a subject that fascinates and intrigues you, and you will share your research with your classmates in a presentation.
I can select any topic related to modernity and/or life in today’s world for this project. As
with any research project, however, my work should begin with a clear and focused
question, problem, or observation. I should also ensure that my work is led by a central
argument made in dialogue with scholarly literature you have sourced; my paper should
not merely be a descriptive essay “about” a topic.
I should integrate course ideas and readings within my paper and presentation to demonstrate my understanding of modernity as a theoretical, historical, and political concept.
Paper
• The final draft should be approximately 15 pages in length, excluding footnotes,
endnotes, and bibliography.
• I should find and use at least 10 academic sources in the paper, excluding
readings from the syllabus.
• I should format my work carefully. In particular, all references and quotations should be
cited within the essay using a standard referencing style, such as MLA, APA, or
Chicago, and a bibliography should list all sources you have used in the paper.
Consult an expert if you are unsure how to cite sources correctly.
• The paper will be designed, developed, and drafted in stages under supervision.
