theme, elaborate on the dimensions pertaining to the theme in a critical manner, and produce a
substantial piece of relevant scholarship. The guidelines for paper writing are as follows:
• The paper should be 2000 words (+/– 10%). This is excluding the bibliography.
• Use 1,5 line spacing, Times New Roman 12 pt., include in–text referencing and
bibliography according to APA (see APA style guide on Canvas).
• On the first page, mention your full name, student number and word count.
• Include a title for your paper.
• You may but not need to use sub–headings for different sections of the paper.
• Your paper can either take the form of a research paper or an essay. The difference is that
a research paper is more exploratory and tries to examine “what’s going on” (flesh out
aspects of a particular phenomenon or explain how a phenomenon came about or changed,
etc.), whereas an essay–style paper is more argumentative and tries to convince the reader
of the position taken by the author. In line with this difference: if you opt for a research–
style paper, you are required to include a central question in the introduction of your paper;
if you opt for an essay–style paper you are required to include a central statement in the
introduction. The central question or statement should be the core of your paper and hence
everything elaborated in the paper should serve to answer the question / defend the
statement.
• You must use at least 10 academic sources (article or book chapter length), and you may
use additional non–academic sources (media, government sources, etc.) and perhaps some
first–hand ethnographic material.
• The topic of your paper cannot be the same as the topic of the weekly reflections.
• The paper is due on Friday 24 December at 23:59. Note that 0.5 grade point will be
deducted per day that the paper is handed in late.
• Papers must be submitted as PDF via Canvas.
• Please note that the paper grade must be at least 6.0 in order to pass the course (this does
not apply to the grades for the weekly reflections).
