Write a research paper, you should explore a case study of the relationship between gender and globalization anywhere in the world. You need to pick a political issue or organization that is relevant for studying gender relations and analyze how the concepts of the course apply to your chosen case. You can focus on one country or compare countries. It could be a social movement, an organization, a particular area of interest, a campaign.
It will be judged on your thoughtful use of concepts from the course, as well as the quality of outside research done on the particular case you have chosen. You should quote and cite appropriately from both the assigned readings and your outside research.
Paper length must be 1250-1500 words, not including your reference list. The paper must make good use of at least two sources from the syllabus, as well as at least three outside research sources (newspapers or magazines, additional books or journal articles). Use APA citation and documentation throughout. https://apastyle.apa.org Number your pages
Where to find primary sources:
FRUS
The best place to go to find out what is happening in 1968 in your country is the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/johnson. These volumes, which are edited collections of sources compiled by historians at the State Department, contain lots of US government reporting and discussion on what is happening in various countries. If you wanted to write about Pakistan in 1968, for example, you could go here: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v25, and go to the document section on India and Pakistan (https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v25/ch1) and scroll forward to 1968.
Secondary sources:
The main academic database for searching scholarly articles is JSTOR: https://www.jstor.org/action/showAdvancedSearch. Here you can search by country (France) and other keywords (protests, 1968). You should find at least one scholarly article on the protests taking place in your country during 1968.
UCONN: If you want to do your paper on the 1968 protests at UConn and how they connected to protests in other parts of the world you can look here for sources: https://blogs.lib.uconn.edu/archives/2019/10/21/resources-in-the-archives-on-student-unrest-at-uconn/
I will start posting academic articles here under “scholarly articles and sources.”
