The blog posts and display panels can relate to the experiential learning activities or
they can be entirely original research. These assignments will be submitted on Nexus.
Each blog post or display panel should be 750 – 1000 words excluding the bibliography
and notes. A display panel or blog post can also have illustrations, either your own
photos or photos by others or historical illustrations with proper attribution.
Use the checklist on Nexus to see whether you’ve formatted correctly. Any assignment
received without the checklist will NOT be graded.
Include at least two scholarly sources. If there are more than two, that’s great. You
must refer to them in your writing.
You should write your blog post or display panel about anything that relates to the
history of the local Winnipeg South Asian diaspora in a global context.
The idea is to demonstrate your research and experience of South Asian history and
culture in Winnipeg and its global connections.
Your blog post or display panel must make a distinct argument concerning your
subject, and provide evidence for that perspective.
The idea of the assignment is to explain to the wider public the
meaning of the subject you choose.
YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE SPECIFIC SUBJECT. You cannot write about general
“Indian” histories of migration in Winnipeg. It must include analysis of at least two
relevant scholarly articles, if you are having difficulty identifying scholarly literature, ask
me! The idea is to set local issues and histories into a broader, analytical framework
from the scholarly literature.
You may conduct oral history interviews, but these should follow the correct protocols,
and we have very little time in this course.
Please consult me about your research.
You can consider writing about ONE of the following subjects: History of Punjabi dance in Winnipeg – dance schools, performances etc. One example:
