SUNY at Stony Brook Solutions to Structural Sexism in the United States Research Due: sunday, August 2 at 11:59PM EST

Length: 6 double-spaced pages total, including the reference page(s)

Format: We’re going to do pseudo-APA style formatting. What I mean exactly

Please use APA style for your references, for both in-text and the reference page (see page 3 for a quick guide)

Use 1-inch margins all around

Double-spaced, 12-point font

But, no title page, no abstract (that is due later), and no running heads; page numbers optional

Please include your title and name just at the top of your first page

Content:

Your topic should fall within both gender and health, and approved by me (by submitting your outline and reading my feedback)

Start with the background: introduce and describe the problem or issue, and cover what evidence exists on this topic so far in the literature. Make clear your thesis, i.e., what idea are you driving home by writing this paper?

End with connecting your thesis to the larger problem at hand and what could be done (research or otherwise) to help it. Suggest new areas of research that have been overlooked and need focus, and propose open questions and future directions about the topic.

Sources:

Please have the majority of your references collected from scholarly sources, i.e., peer-reviewed journal articles and books. Internet sources such as websites by government agencies or legitimate foundations such as the American Cancer Society are also considered scholarly. Internet articles, such as the ones that I have assigned in class, are also fine, but please do not rely solely on these. If you find an Internet article that refers to a specific study, try to look up the original study in the databases.

There is no required number of sources, but please make sure that you are citing any ideas that aren’t your own.

If you are having a hard time finding something in these databases or ran out of time for ILL or library help, sometimes Google and Google Scholar can find the article you are looking for. But, try to use this as a last result, because usually you will turn up direct links to the publishers which are paywalled
