Choose an issue in the sociology of race and ethnicity to research. You must take a stance on the issue to argue in the paper. Ask yourself: Can I connect a theoretical perspective to this issue? Can I connect any course concepts to this issue? Are there multiple “sides” to this issue, and which side do I fall on?
Profile an organization that is working on creating change in this area. This can be a non-profit organization, a religious group, an informal network or collective, or another type of organization, working locally, nationally, or internationally. The issue and organization don’t have to be based in Canada, but should have information available in English. In this section, you should answer: What is this organization? What is its purpose? What kind of work is it doing? How does it relate to course concepts? How does it relate to your essay’s overall argument?
