One of the goals of this class is to achieve a heightened degree of cross-cultural understanding. Thus, the final project for this class requires you to interview someone from a culture that is not your own and write about his or her relationship to, experience of or opinion about an issue in multiculturalism such as those discussed in this class. You will submit a 2-3 page paper proposal in which you identify (1) a debatable research question, (2) a specific person you plan to interview or have interviewed, and (3) at least three sources (including articles and/or films) assigned or recommended for this course or from other relevant scholarly publications that will help to answer your question. You must explain how you will use sources and interview material to answer your question, and how this will enrich scholarly understanding of a specific issue relevant to this course and American multiculturalism in general. This might require some reading ahead, and your grade will reflect the apparent viability of your project and how prepared you are to write the final paper. If you are having trouble finding a topic, developing a question, or finding sources, please see your professor and/or TA in office hours.
