For this final reflection/pre-research proposal paper or presentation, I would like you to (1) examine your entries/notes from week 1 until the very last assigned class day and (2) write about in what ways has your knowledge about intersectionality and interlocking oppressions through the weeks changed and, also, gave you new ideas to explore topics/issues that you care about.

(Please write about at least 2 of the foundational theories) to help you describe your thoughts AND provide direct quotes/page numbers that illustrate this evolved understanding. The easiest thing to do is to, of course, look at your readings assignments and copy/paste the quotes, (If you think about it, this is just standard practice: showing your audience where you got your ideas.) the sociological imagination (Mills) Gans (functionalism) Neocleous (securitization) and then all the other books/articles/chapters demonstrating the foundations (Ngai; Nevins; Rodriguez) 2) Exploring and Thinking about Related Topics You are Interested in Exploring: As you were learning about, applying these theories of migration (emigration and immigration), and/or learning this history (past through present) of "immigration today" what topics did you become more interested in exploring? How is it written, talked about, described and/or displayed in the mainstream media? How is it written about in peer-reviewed sources? (Please find at least 3 mainstream sources and 3 peer-reviewed articles and, of course, please cite the articles and provide direct quotes that stood out for you and helped you learn most about the issue.) Please thoroughly describe the topic that you chose to explore  then thoroughly describe how the mainstream media depicts the issue you're concerned about then thoroughly describe how the peer-reviewed articles depict the issue you're concerned about 3) Putting it all together - generating questions for FUTURE research: Then try as best as you can to think about the foundations you'd written about in the first question and also the new information and 'insights' you'd gotten when you were doing the work for question 2 (on your particular topic) Please answer the following questions: How do the foundations/articles from this class help you understand/analyze your topic of choice as written by the mainstream sources and peer-reviewed articles (if you are interested in pursuing this topic for a thesis and/or are applying for graduate school)? In other words -- how was this class helped you read/understand/comprehend the information you gathered about your topic?
