Think of an identity-representation that has caught your attention, maybe you have a personal connection to it, maybe you feel you’d like to interrogate it more; this is the topic that you will be working with throughout the rest of the term. Make sure you are interested in it! This assignment asks you to synthesize all of your research over the semester and present the findings (your argument) in an argument-based literature review paper; this is not the typical “gather-information-and-put-it-in-a-paper” report. It is a review of all the current, relevant research, driven by your own original argument, contemplating, challenging, and concurring with others’ standpoints while adding something new and original to the ongoing academic argument.
