I am interested in exploring how counterinsurgency responses to threats often keep neoliberal values alive and in turn fostered inequality within communities. I hope to find examples both in the US and around the world in order to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>Some questions I aim to answer:<\/p>\n<p>What is a counterinsurgency response? When are they most effective?<\/p>\n<p>How did this specific counterinsurgency response instill neoliberal beliefs into a community? Explain its affects on the community.<\/p>\n<p>How does the state rationalize their use of military involvement? What was the language used in the announcements?<\/p>\n<p>Did the media play a role in this event? If so, how did it shape the discourse of the response and the people involved?<\/p>\n<p>I plan on researching different counterinsurgency responses and (hopefully) finding examples that best fit what I hope to present. Then I will continue exploring those specific events and create subcategories that will then be discussed in a podcast. The goal of the podcast is to keep viewers interested in the material, while explaining it to them in a digestible manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a good topic, Gaby. I also liked your questions in general. But you will have to narrow your focus down. You should think about what you mean by &#8220;crisis.&#8221; Do you mean &#8220;natural&#8221; crises? or civil &#8220;disorders&#8221; (like uprisings)? or both?<\/p>\n<p>Also, are you going to look at only military responses to crises or humanitarian responses as well? Some humanitarian responses could also be seen as upholding neoliberal ideas?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, you should also think further about what you exactly mean by &#8220;neoliberalism.&#8221; What aspects of neoliberalism will you focus on?<\/p>\n<p>One more thing: will you have a specific time frame? Do you want to focus on responses to crisis in the past or more recent times?<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that your goal for this project is not just learning more about your topic but engage in a robust analysis of it.<\/p>\n<p>Doing a podcast for your project sounds great. After the break, we should talk about how to narrow down your focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Summary: In no more than 200 words, provide a brief description of your project, including the key questions your project attempts to answer and a brief discussion of how you intend to answer those questions.\u00a0 Deadline: March 1st Friday, 11:59 pm After reading about Hurricane Katrina, I was very curious about military responses to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Project Summary&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-61","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/61","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/61\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/sociology-3010b-spring-2019-gfoti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
