Topic: The stereotype of black people not knowing how to swim. So the group I chose is professional african american swimmers. Simone Manuel is one that you could use. Word count 2500 final year level || Use APA For your final paper, you will choose at least one of the concepts or theories we have discussed in the class and produce an original academic research paper that is at least eight pages long (excluding cover page, references, etc.). For instance, you may apply quaring or intersectionality to a media text (movie, show, etc.) to tease out how it represents a particular group. You may use queer intercultural communication to understand how queerness is demonized by the legal system. Or you may use intercultural communication theory to analyze how your own identity or a group identity has come to be constructed. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical paper, which means the work you do should contribute to intercultural communication theory. The paper will include your introduction, literature review, analysis, and conclusion sections. Each section should be labelled clearly using subheads to separate them from others. Your introduction section will introduce your thesis or argument (problem + solution) as well as provide a blueprint for the rest of the paper. Your argument is a claim that you make, which is backed by evidence. (For example: In this essay, I use a quare approach to analyze representations of Black sexuality in the media. I argue that while white queers subjects are presented humanely and as facing repression every day, Black queer people are represented as perverse, which prevents us from understanding their experiences. I posit that understanding the oppression of Black queer people as constituted at the intersections of race and sexuality, among others, is a first step towards working towards undoing injustice.) In your literature review section, you can use as many as class readings as you want, but you should also do independent research, including citing at least three peer-reviewed articles pertaining to your topic (that are not class readings). This section will review work in this area that scholars have done so far and identify how your work contributes to this conversation. The third part is the heart of any essay, which is the analysis Your analysis should provide enough "proof" that demonstrates your argument. This could be the analysis of a show or providing some other kind of "proof" that demonstrates your argument. I am interested in seeing how you APPLY the theories and concepts you learned in this class to your text. The last section, conclusion, ends the essay by reiterating some overarching points. It could also list some limitations of your work as well as indicate areas for future research.
