Please also see attachment for full instructions. please use information below for the report and specific topic. Thank you
You are a famous social scientist . You receive a letter from Dr. Alondra Nelson, newly appointed chair of the President’s Office of Science. She is a sociologist and is asking you to undertake research to present to the President as well as relevant White House staff. Your report consists of 1800-words plus references (see instructions on formatting and structure).
President Biden has four national priorities (see below). Before Dr. Nelson’s office can work on these, she needs your assistance in gathering the most current explanatory research on one of the topics below by combining research and theory from two of the following disciplines: sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, geography, or political science.
While we did not focus on geography, it is considered to fall under the social science umbrella. You might use research in this discipline to explore environmental issues, sustainability, or climate change.
This is not an opinion paper. Present the most current scholarly research and suggest at least two potential solutions to the problem (based on the scholarly research, of course). Start with journal articles and government/demographic data, and then may consult the popular press as appropriate.
The following are the actual issues Dr. Nelson’s office staff are addressing. These are quite broad. You need to narrow the focus. Choose something you care about!
COVID-related public health and economic recovery
Environment & sustainability (climate change)
US-China relations
Racial justice
You will be writing a succinct report rather than a traditional term paper. Consider your audience. Do not spend too much time on historical background. Your goal is to show how social science is appropriate in exploring the problem and finding solutions. Using an interdisciplinary approach is required. Follow the formatting and structural instructions carefully. Write an outline of the points you want to cover before starting your research (for yourself; not to turn in).
In your research, please address the following:
Present research from at least two social science disciplines on the issue. You must use appropriate concepts to explain the data. Applying a theory or theories is encouraged. At the end of your report, share at least two potential and realistic solutions that come from the research.
