INSTRUCTIONS:
The topic will be on a subject/topic that you are interested that fulfills one or more of the following:
Focuses on a specific conflict and a specific issue within that conflict that impacts women.
Focuses on a reoccurring issue that impacts women in a wide array of conflict zones/refugee camps/refugee immigrant communities/etc.
Highlights a specific kind of women’s activism/advocacy/work in conflict zones.
Highlight a specific woman/group of women who is/are actively fighting and/or working in a conflict zone and what their impact is.
Highlight a specific woman and/or group of women who are resisting policies that are creating political/environmental/social instability.
Highlights a historical movement or conflict that demonstrates the legacy of women’s roles in crisis zones.
Most, if not all issues have a historical legacy. That history needs addressed in the final paper.
There are a very broad range of topics you can address, but your topic needs to be focused and well researched.
For my final paper research topic, for my women’s studies class, I’ve chosen “the resilience of Albanian women in Kosovo during the Serbian War”. For this paper, I would like you to write about 8 pages. The total assignment is 10 pages but I plan to edit and add to your work after I receive it. I am going to attach my paper proposal that I’ve already handed in for you to have an understanding of what I am looking for. As for the writing, please don’t use such elaborate vocabulary, it is not necessary, and it’s not how I talk. For sources, I’ve included links at the bottom of my proposal that I think will work well and want to include. We are allowed to use “I” in this paper. I hope through this paper you do the topic justice, as this hits very close to home. I appreciate your time and effort. Lastly, I wanted to add my professors comments on my paper proposal so you have a better understanding.
“My only concern is it could be a bit broad because the experience of women as presented touches on so many varied aspects of the lived experience. Be sure that you are adequately able to look at, research and reflect on each aspect. It is perfectly fine to narrow it down to look at a certain aspect if that is more manageable.
The proposal itself does have moments of repetition. I would advise making to avoid this in the final paper.
Your sources look good, be sure to include some academic articles in yoru research. “
