Description

Section 2: This will be a continuation of the first section, looking at the group or area you have chosen and discussing the scenario of conflict in which it is involved, its history of conflict, and an analysis of the problem. In this section you begin to bring in theoretical or conceptual frameworks we have been covering, provide comparative examples, or in other ways set this situation of conflict into the context of the course. Connect your group with the subject matter of the class.

 

 

Project Topics: You may choose one indigenous or ethnic group (not a religious order, sect or cult), and learn about that group’s culture, history and conflicts. (i.e. Lakota, Sarayaku, Maori).  You may discuss two closely related indigenous groups (i.e. Pomo and Miwok).  You may choose a geographical area, and learn about the indigenous groups / ethnic groups in that area, their history and their conflicts.* (i.e. Tibet; Somalia; Belgium).

 

 

Information Sources:

Internet resources: An excellent place to start is Cultural Survival’s home page: www.cs.org. You can also use the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs’ website: www.iwgia.org, and Survival International: www.survival-international.org. Remember that these resources should be used as supplements to the above sources. Do not rely solely or mainly on web sources.

 

 

Instructions for the Project:Each section of the project is a short paper, in essay format, with a references cited page. Please use APA style for citations and references in your research paper. Papers should be typed, double-spaced, with pages numbered. Use Times New Roman, size 12 font. Only papers printed in black ink will be accepted. Please staple together pages, and please include a cover sheet (put your name and section number in the top right hand corner of the first page). Do not place your papers in folders or covers.

FormatIn all of the writing about your chosen topic, you must cite your sources in-text.  You should make reference to bibliographic material and course readings in the body of your paper. When quoting directly be sure to use quotation marks to indicate this. Even when you have paraphrased someone else’s material, and do not use quotation marks, you must cite the author you are paraphrasing. References should be placed in the body of the text, in parentheses, like this: (Gilmore 1992:105). This indicates the page number for the material you used. Web addresses (urls) should not appear in the body of the paper—use an author if you have one and a title if you do not. Your own thoughts and examples should be used to draw the readings together in a fresh and coherent fashion.All sections should include a “References Cited” section, which will expand with each phase of the project. Please include this with each section, so that you will show references cited for the current section, and on a separate page, the references you have used previously. Each section should draw on at least 3 references. In the end you should have used 9-10 different sources, with only a total of 2-3 of them from website material or non-academic magazines (Newsweek, etc.).
