These papers should analyze critically one major issue in a reading assignment, an issue that you find thought-provoking or problematic. Possible analytical approaches: 1) Develop a theoretical and/or empirical critique of the theoretical arguments you analyze (e.g., Does other past or present theory or research evidence support or challenge their arguments?); 2) Compare material in readings with other theory/research material presented in seminar sessions; 3) Compare and contrast material in one reading assignment with that in another; or 4) Use material in the reading assignment to assess other theoretical analyses or theoretically relevant empirical research you know well.
