Class - Spec Topics Interdisc Studies
Overview & Purpose: Next week, you will submit your culminating assignment for this course: The Repatriation Framework. For the final project, you will synthesize everything we have learned to present a practical approach to restitution. You will have the choice to format your final project as an Op-Ed advocating for legislative action, a podcast script detailing the Oba vs. State debate, or an internal museum action plan. Before you write the final project, you must submit a formal Final Project Memo outlining your intended approach. This ensures your project is on the right track and allows me to provide feedback on your concept. Instructions: Write a 1-page, formal professional memo addressed to me (Dr. Reed) that outlines your plan for the Module 5 Final Project. Your memo must include the following sections (use bold headers):
Format & Audience: Which format have you chosen (Op-Ed, Podcast Script, or Museum Action Plan)? Who is the specific target audience for this piece? Need Assignment Help?
Subject & Artifact Focus: What specific artifact, collection, or current event (e.g., the Oba's 2023 decree) will serve as the anchor for your project?
Core Argument/Thesis: In 2-3 sentences, what is the primary argument or policy recommendation you will be making?
Course Integration: List at least three specific course readings, archives, or media pieces from Modules 1-4 that you plan to utilize as evidence in your final project. Briefly explain how you will use them.
Formatting: Use standard business memo formatting (To, From, Date, Subject). Be concise, clear, and professional. Please don't use generative AI.
