Format and Outline

  • Product
    • Describe the form you hope your project will assume (i.e. paper, film, podcast) and a justification for why your selection provides the best approach to present your findings.
  • Changes
    • Provide a description of any changes in the product of your project, with a brief explanation for your decision.

My project will be a traditional research paper. I think that this format makes it easier to synthesize all my findings in an organized way that will convey my message in a persuasive manner. Given that my topic can be expansive, utilizing a paper format allows me to use subsections to capture the different aspects of Salvadorean identity that I want to capture.

Update: Instead of a research paper I will be making a podcast. A podcast would allow me to synthesize all the findings from academic sources into a more digestible and accessible format. Oral narratives especially about migrants are more powerful because they are rarer and humanize their experience more than a paper can.
