• Manhattan Field Trip next Wednesday. I need a few volunteers (worth a 200-word make-up assignment):
  • to help late arriving students (you would need to share your contact info with the class)
  • to hold iPad camera during the talk from 3:00-3:50
  • ALSO: everyone should wear masks!!! We will be in the studio of an 84-year-old.
  • Please email me if you’re interested.

Agenda

• Follow-up on 1-on-1s
  • Last 1-on-1s: at 3:45
  • Important reminder as you develop your research, from Surviving R. Kelly: “You can victimize people when you de-humanize them.” (30 secs) It’s important to minimize assumptions, find actual evidence, and avoid hyperbole! Not only can this dehumanize the groups you’re writing about, it’s also poor scholarship.
  • D&T Orgs & Articles that came to mind during 1-on-1s. I will add links later today.
  • Need more time to chat? Schedule a few minutes before or after class (aka office hours)!
• Google Docs Quick Tutorials:
  • Add page numbers
  • Add a table of contents
  • Add page breaks
  • Add URLS
  • Note that word counts are recommendations only. You can have slightly longer/shorter sections as long as your first full draft of writing adds up to about 4000 words. 

• What’s the difference between an Annotated Bibliography and a Literature Review? (U Texas)
  • Purdue OWL: Annotated Bibliography samples
    • Prof D notes on samples
  • Types of literature review (UCLA)
    • I think this paper very clearly explains how systematic lit review is employed.
  • Hanging indents for Works Cited

• Start to think about making your title more specific.
  • Is it a systematic review? Or more of a narrative/critical/traditional review?
• Please be sure to address in your papers:
  • What’s the geography/language?
  • Are there any other demographic specifics? If so, specify them!
  • What’s the marginalized/justice aspect?
  • Do your best to cite any assertions!!!
  • Note that “scholarly” articles must be peer-reviewed.
• For everyone: This paper is a good example of a NON-systemic lit review. I would say it’s a critical/thematic review. If you paper does not have a quantitative analytic component, take a look at this paper as a possible model.
• These papers papers are good examples of systematic lit reviews.
  • More on types of lit reviews (University of Tampa)

NYU Aging Incubator

• Brief visit from Larissa Szilagyi, Program Administrator. Our Manhattan field trip next Wednesday will continue the discussion, focusing on “Aging and Creativity.”
  Would it be useful to access a talk from the co-director of the Aging Incubator?
