Please pick one of the classical theorists, e.g. Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx, W.E.B. DuBois, Marianne Weber or Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Consider the theoretical approach each is associated with and write an essay explaining how that classical scholar might discuss the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the British monarchy in general.
. If you choose Ida B. Wells-Barnett, (a) describe Wells-Barnett’s contribution to an approach that considers the intersection of race and gender (b) indicate how you think she might explain the social importance of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the British monarchy more generally.
Whichever option you choose, your paper should be 1 – 1.5 pages, double spaced, with 12 pt. Times New Roman font, and 1-inch margins. Please no extra spacing between paragraphs.
There’s no formal rubric, but an A-paper will include (1) the theorist’s connection to the framework and (2) a description of how it may be applied to Queen Elizabeth’s recent death and the British monarchy.g43
