You may also use \u201cgrey\u201d sources i.e. magazine & <\/span>newspaper articles, TV shows, movies, etc. However, grey materials are not peer-reviewed and<\/span><\/p>\n

will not count as part of your 8 min. references.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your references should be from within the last 10 years, unless your topic is no longer<\/div>\n
popular or timely. If this is the case, you need to mention that you are using older articles and<\/div>\n
why. For example, if the article was an important early study, or there is a lack of recent<\/div>\n
literature etc. Your must utilize the most recent literature on your topic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bibliography<\/div>\n
You must cite all the articles, sources that you use in the body of your paper in your<\/div>\n
bibliography. Do no \u201cpad\u201d your bibliography \u2013 add articles that you do not reference.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Structure of  paper<\/div>\n
Paper should consist of 5 parts \u2013 each part has its own heading that you bold.<\/div>\n
1. Introduction \u2013 this is a summary of the existing literature that relates to your topic.<\/div>\n
2. Research or thesis statement \u2013 what you are going do, argue, or address in your paper.<\/div>\n
3. Methodology \u2013 your theoretical approach \u2013 SI, Feminist, Intersectional, etc., and<\/div>\n
concepts you are going to use (e.g. medicalisation, affective neutrality,<\/div>\n
professionalisation) \u2013 these all must be defined and explained in some detail and are<\/div>\n
directly related to your topic.<\/div>\n
4. Findings \u2013 consists of the evidence (from your peer-reviewed sources) you are using to<\/div>\n
support your research\/thesis statement in the form of themes (see below for an example).<\/div>\n
Be sure to use subheadings to organise your arguments\/evidence in a logical manner.<\/div>\n
5. Conclusion \u2013 a summary of the main arguments that you developed in your paper.<\/div>\n
Introduction\/Background<\/div>\n
In this section you are to provide the reader with some contextualizing or background<\/div>\n
information about your topic. This information is related to what you are going to argue<\/div>\n
or address in your paper \u2013 i.e. this section helps you to \u2018set up\u2019 your argument by<\/div>\n
\u201cpainting the reader a detailed picture\u201d of what your research topic will be about. For<\/div>\n
example, if your research topic is about the impacts of COVID-19 on long-term care<\/div>\n
(LTC) facilities, you could begin by providing details about the history of LTC in Canada<\/div>\n
and how this type of care is organised, or existing problems with and\/or demographic<\/div>\n
information about the users of this type of care, etc. This will all depend on what your<\/div>\n
research focus is about.<\/div>\n
Research statement<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The research or thesis statement is the central idea that any paper will explore. It is<\/div>\n
important that in any sociology writing assignment you take the time to develop a clear<\/div>\n
research statement, the clearer the better. The hard thing about developing a research<\/div>\n
statement is that it forms over time and often changes as the writing starts. A good<\/div>\n
statement consists of a subject (topic) and a number of assertions or arguments. Your<\/div>\n
research statement tells the reader what you are going to argue or \u201cdo\u201d in your paper<\/div>\n
(i.e. \u201cIn this paper I focus on the legalization of the practice of midwifery in Canada in<\/div>\n
the late 1980s, and the forces that led to its legalization…\u201d) and the assertions are the<\/div>\n
major arguments\/themes (usually 3) that you use to build and support your<\/div>\n
research\/thesis statement or \u201cclaim\u201d (e.g. The Women\u2019s Liberation Movement, The<\/div>\n
Natural Childbirth Movement, Struggles for Legitimacy and the Medical Profession).<\/div>\n
The key to a good research statement is for it to be clear and as concise as possible.<\/div>\n
Your research statement must be appropriate for the discipline for which you are<\/div>\n
writing \u2013 it must be sociological, and it must be in some way related to the Canadian<\/div>\n
health care system.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Methodology<\/div>\n
In this section you will identify, define and describe in detail the theoretical perspective<\/div>\n
or perspectives (Symbolic Interactionism, Social Constructionism, Feminism, etc.,)<\/div>\n
and\/or major concepts (e.g. medically necessary, professionalisation, ghettoization) that<\/div>\n
you will be using to frame your arguments. You should choose a theoretical approach<\/div>\n
that is appropriate to your topic. For example, if you are critically analyzing how gender<\/div>\n
relations structures and informs the profession of nursing, then a Feminist approach may<\/div>\n
be the most appropriate because Feminism specifically addresses the social construction<\/div>\n
of gender and gender relationships of power. The perspective you take will also depend<\/div>\n
on how you see the world, i.e. your own perspective on the topic. If you are focusing on<\/div>\n
\u201cmeanings\u201d \u2013 how social reality is understood\/interpreted\/negotiated – then a Symbolic<\/div>\n
Interactionist or Social Constructionist approach would be appropriate. Your approach<\/div>\n
can also be a \u2018hybrid \u2013 Feminist-Symbolic Interactionist \u2013 again, this will depend on<\/div>\n
what your focus is. You also need to explain why you choose the theoretical approach<\/div>\n
that you did, and how it relates to your topic \u2013 i.e. explain why a Neo-Marxist-Feminist-<\/div>\n
Symbolic approach is appropriate or relevant to explaining your research topic (1-2<\/div>\n
sentences in length).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The articles you use for your paper should reflect your theoretical approach. If you are<\/div>\n
taking a Feminist approach to understand the practice of midwifery, most of your articles<\/div>\n
should be feminist in their approach\/content (theoretical orientation and methodology).<\/div>\n
Feminist articles are usually found in feminist and critical sociology and health journals.<\/div>\n
Check the methodology section of your articles for the approach taken. It is here that<\/div>\n
authors identify the theoretical framework they employ in their analysis.<\/div>\n
Findings<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These include the themes related to your research\/thesis statement and are the main<\/div>\n
arguments you are using to support your research\/thesis statement. For example, to<\/div>\n
support my research focus on the return of the practice of midwifery to Canada, I use data<\/div>\n
from research on the women\u2019s liberation movement, the natural childbirth movement,<\/div>\n
and the struggle for professional legitimacy. I present this information as 3 separate<\/div>\n
themes and use the following bolded subheadings to organise and present my arguments:<\/div>\n
The Women\u2019s Liberation Movement<\/div>\n
The Natural Childbirth Movement<\/div>\n
Struggles for Legitimacy and the Medical Profession<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Conclusion<\/div>\n
The conclusion of your paper summarizes the evidence you have provided in the body of<\/div>\n
your paper, and includes a final assertion of your argument. Refer briefly to each major<\/div>\n
point in your paper and how it reinforces your research statement. Do not introduce new<\/div>\n
material in this section. You should also discuss what is problematic about the concepts<\/div>\n
or theories that your utilised in your paper \u2013 e.g. are they gender-blind, do they fail to<\/div>\n
account for the experiences of radicalised minorities, do they ignore the effects of power,<\/div>\n
etc. Also, comment about the current state of the literature, are there gaps (areas of study<\/div>\n
that have not been addressed), is there a predominant approach to (the theoretical<\/div>\n
approaches have been mostly Structural Functionalist, or Feminist), and where new<\/div>\n
research should could beginYour references should be from within the last 10 years, unless your topic is no longer<\/div>\n
popular or timely. If this is the case, you need to mention that you are using older articles and<\/div>\n
why. For example, if the article was an important early study, or there is a lack of recent<\/div>\n
literature etc. Your must utilize the most recent literature on your topic.<\/div>\n
