Q In this assignment, you should engage with more analytical depth with a theorist by writing up a two page, single space brief on a chosen theorist from weeks 2-12 (do not repeat the theorist you wrote about in brief #1). Please use the following guidelines to structure your two page brief. 1. In one paragraph discuss the context in which the theorist was writing. For example you could address the social, economic, or cultural conditions surrounding the theorist at the time of writing, or what is the theorist arguing against or building upon? 2. In the next 2-3 paragraphs discuss some points about Choose max two concepts to focus this discussion, and explain them. Content has to do with: “What is the theorist trying to say? What are the relevant concepts, main arguments, and key quotes from the passage? What can we get out of it as sociologists?” 3. In your final paragraph offer one critique. For example, “What are the limitations of the work? How can we improve upon the existing theory? How do the arguments compare to today’s world or other theories”? You must be concise, direct, correct, and you must use a correct referencing format in your writing. Please realize that you cannot cover everything so choose strategically what you will include to write about your theorist.
