Paper Assignment

undefined

Choose an example of American technological change that you can analyze in terms of race, ethnicity, or gender. In this paper you must relate the invention or development of a specific technology to one or more racial or ethnic or gendered groups. You can think about how these categories affected the development of the technology you chose, how different groups of people used a technology, and how this technology might have influenced race or gender relations.

This technology should be something historical, meaning that it should have been invented and developed in the past – before 1990.

Research issues

undefined

I expect you to conduct academic research for this paper. You will need to cite a minimum of three scholarly or primary sources in this paper and three additional sources such as Wikipedia for a minimum of six sources total. You must use a minimum of six sources from outside the assigned readings. You will probably need to use sources that indirectly relate to your topic. For example, an article dealing with segregation of railroads or a book dealing with Jim Crow segregation in general can be applied to the segregation of streetcars. (Newspapers are not scholarly sources).

In all cases, you can think about intersectionality. How did gender or class intersect with the racial or ethnic issues you are exploring?
