The final paper is a culmination of the seminar work and involves an analysis of the intersectional perspective and  its application to an empirical issue. 

The research paper will focus on a theme related to gender intersectionality  and is divided into three assignments  which also compose the basis of the research paper. Each part will be submitted separately for recommendations by me, and then included in the final paper itself. 

Outlines for each section of the paper are provided under the reading section of blackboard.

(a) research proposal/introduction: description of research theme and how it relates to the intersectional approach

(b) an outline including an annotated bibliography. This outline will  provide 3-5 themes for  supporting evidence.  This supporting evidence will form the body of the  the paper

(c) conclusion and  social policy recommendations.
