Literature

A literature map is a visual tool for organizing a literature review into relevant themes/topics and demonstrating how your study will contribute to existing knowledge. Literature maps may be designed in different ways.

1.  Hierarchical Structure – uses a top-down presentation of the literature, ending with your proposed study
2. Flowchart model – literature unfolds from left to right, with the farthest right section advancing a proposed study
3. Venn Diagram – with each circle representing a body of literature and the intersection of circles indicating future research.

Choose one the following designs and create a literature map of your research topic. You may create and upload a digital or handwritten literature map.

Also, please ignore the “facilitation guide” part), and I’ve also attached an example of this assignment completed by a fellow classmate, which you can use as a resource/rewrite, just please be sure ours is still original and doesn’t have any similarities, besides sources/data, that the professor may catch.

Case Studies

My case selection: Hatian Revolution (protest) and
1997 Asian financial crisis (economic panic)
[unless you find something more interesting]

Each case study should cover information on:
a) Spectators/Participants 
b) Structural/Material Environmental Conditions
c) Communication Capacities and Information Dissemination
d) Extant Social Conditions/Dynamics

Format: ASA:
a. Introduction
b. Brief Desrption of the Event(s) and how it constitutes an instance of Collective Behavior
c. Summary of Collected Data: This can be accomplished either as an integrated essay format,
or by summarizing the information for each category separately.
d. Analysis of Event: This will involve utilizing the multiple theoretical perspectives explored in
the course [Contagion Theory, Emergent Norm Theory, Value-Added Theory, and
(potentially) the Socio-Cybernetic Model*]. The goal is to highlight what this perspective
tells us about the event, and not necessarily to evaluate a specific theory.

Resistance Project

THE RESISTANCE PROJECT 2020
The Resistance Project (2020) has been designed to move you from theory into action.  The goal of the project is to have you research a specific social problem, analyze its socio-cultural implications, investigate past and present social justice movements spawned from the problem, and create a plan of action appropriate for our current global landscape.
