Dictionary Entry: Ethnicity
A dictionary entry of 1000 words defining ethnicity using four coursework sources and 6 other sources.
Write a critical, 1,000 word, single-spaced dictionary entry for ethnicity with peer-reviewed sources (see course goals 1, 4). The field of theoretical discourse has grown more and more complex with the rise of interdisciplinarity. Some have attributed the demise of theory as a cry for a house that could provide shelter from empiricism, but much of it is also motivated by the fact that theories facilitate explanation, relating conceptual constructs to observable phenomena. Theories are never politically innocent, for they express political prejudices and often reproduce them unintentionally. Note: Late work will be accepted with a deduction of 2 grade points per day.
