This assignment requires you to use themes from the readings and debate critically the meaning, scope, and\/or practices. Critique does not simply mean your opinion; it must be well-reasoned and backed up by reconstructing the arguments and ideas from the readings. You may be surprised by the readings, think they are interesting, or incredibly boring. \u2026 In these shorter essays, you are expected to make a strong argument about a specific week’s readings, and to support this argument with theoretical and empirical evidence. External sources are not required for the short papers. Your sources for these papers are class readings<\/p>\n
