Part 1
Objectives:
- Review current sociological research related to race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in the US
- Practice using UND Libraries to search for and cite peer-reviewed sociological research
Guidelines: - Each group member should search for one (1) peer-reviewed journal article related to race/ethnicity,
gender, or sexuality in the US. The article should be quantitative in nature (i.e., involving data). The
article should also have been published 2010-current. - At least one article in the compiled report should be related to a) race/ethnicity, b) gender, and c)
sexuality (i.e., all topic areas should be represented in the final report). If the article focuses on more
than one of these areas (i.e., intersectionality), then that is great. Also, note that each group member
should pick and summarize a different article (i.e., no duplicates). - Each member should provide a summary of their article, and address the following in one paragraph:
a. What is this article about? (i.e., what is the research question or topic this paper is addressing?)
b. What are the characteristics of the sample? (e.g., data source, sample size, participants)
c. What are the overall results of the study? (i.e., study conclusions)
d. What do the authors state are important next steps to consider? (i.e., see discussion section)
e. Include a full citation of the article (i.e., either ASA or APA format is fine – see link below)
Grading and requirements (10 points): - Summaries should be approximately one paragraph (i.e., 5-6 clear and well-written sentences), and
should include a full citation using ASA or APA format. See the example references handout posted
under “Resources” in Blackboard, or the Purdue Online Writing Lab website here for guidance on full
citation formatting for peer-reviewed journal articles. Be sure to proofread your work!
Part 2
Week 3 prompt:
Using the UND Diversity & Inclusion website, identify at least three (3) resources (e.g., programs, events, groups)
you think are supportive to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at UND. What additional resources could be developed or
expanded on to help advance Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at UND?

Class-related posts should be substantive and relevant to class (i.e., not solely based on opinion, assumption, or
personal experience) and should be at least four to five (i.e., short paragraph) sentences in length (i.e.,
demonstrating review and understanding of the material)
