Applied Anthropology WikiProject

This week, you will continue your research on the chosen problem or topic for your Final Project. You will also add the research from Weeks One and Two, written assignments to your Wikispace and submit a link in the written assignment this week.

In your written assignment this week:

Specifically describe how an applied anthropologist might act as an activist or produce an action plan to address the needs of those affected by the selected social problem or topic.

Incorporate sources to validate your points and to highlight aspects of the chosen problem/issue/movement.

What does earlier research on the topic suggest about the topic, and what gaps do you think you as an anthropologist can cover using the critical information and needs you have assessed in this project?

Integrate any instructor feedback into your Weeks One and Two assignments and add your research from Weeks One through Three to your wikispace. Include a link to your wikispace when you submit your Week Three assignment.

The assignment must be at least three pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style, and you must include a link to your wikispace. You must include at least two scholarly sources, that is, articles from peer-reviewed journals and eBooks from Ashford University Library.

In addition, you can include sources on the World Wide Web that are authored and reliable. Search in peer-reviewed journals or other journals that are considered to have reliable information.

(Do not use sources from the secular press, i.e.,Time, Newsweek, or Wikipedia.) Review the guidelines for acceptable sources by reading the "Academic Research" section within the Student Responsibilities and Policies tab under Course Home on the left navigation toolbar.
