4154 LSA Building Map
Day 2 This workshop is designed to serve as an opportunity for students to engage in supportive and guided thinking about race and ethnicity in their research agenda. It will benefit students who are just beginning to determine a research agenda and/or specific research questions as well as those who are far advanced in dissertation research, yet seek an opportunity to benefit from broader feedback and discussion about the race/ethnicity and race/ethnic relations dimensions of their work. The one and a half-day workshop will be divided into the following areas of focus:
Session I: Unseasoned and uncooked
In advance of the workshop students will prepare a 1 page memo (three paragraphs maximum) that answers the following questions:
1) What about race do you want to study?
2) Why do you want to study it?
3) How do you want to study (methods)?

Session II: Seasoned and oven-ready
In advance of the workshop students will prepare a 3-5 page memo on a intended research project (including discussion of the research question and methods that you intend to apply to your investigation, an account of how the question fits into some area of sociological literature, and a very brief account of the kinds of existing literature that addresses the phenomenon that you intend to explore).

Session III: Half-baked
Fairly well-developed papers (in draft form) that would benefit from a review and discussion.
Please submit material to one or more sessions by April 20, 2018, to ayoun@umich.edu
