About the academic research paper
Students are required to research and write a 2,000 to 2,500-word academic paper that explores the cultural uses of photography or photographs in Western society during the 19th, 20th, or 21st century.
The essay needs to discuss (or "argue") a particular point. I encourage you to come up with your own topic as it relates to your academic or personal interests. I am happy to help you formulate your topic.
Additionally, the essay will refer to a specific photograph (or photographs) as your proof or as a case study. Relevant theories or theorists will also be brought in to assist in your discussion.
The format for the assignments and final essay, as well as the rubrics, will be posted on D2L.
