Final Research Report From the syllabus:
Research assignment: Final Research Report
From the syllabus: The purpose of this assignment is to explore the gender relations of the everyday world of spaces where criminal justice or social control is administered. These worlds include women as criminalized bodies, women as professionals such as lawyers, police officers, or judges, as well as administrative staff such as court clerks. Also, this includes women's as mothers, girlfriend's, friends, or wives of criminalized men.
The aim of the final research report is to use your field notes as data in discussing how gender is a part of the everyday regulating, disciplining, or managing women, and how gender intersects with class or race.
As you have chosen to use a shopping mall food court as your site to study gendered forms of social control, you need to conduct a thematic analysis of your field notes to determine how and when gender is managed, disciplined or policed in that space.
Here are the next steps for completing this assignment:
1. Review your field notes and if you haven't already done so document your analytical comments of how and when gender is being managed or disciplined, as well as resisted by the women themselves.
2. Identify three key themes/findings in your data using this list as a guide. Tip: use a highlighter or coloured pen throughout field notes
· presentation of self (how women dress or behave in the space you have studied (conformity, defiance, classed etc)
· social relations (between women, or women and men in this space)
· gendered organization of work: intersections of race and class
· social exclusion or marginalization (how women are marginalized or ignored)
· agency or resistance (how do women assert their power or autonomy)
· forms of surveillance (security personal, arrangement of space/seating, signs)
· personal technology: disciplines or manages space/time/interactions
· community life: how is the space used?.
3. Presentation of findings: summarize each key theme using examples from the field notes. This should be about 2-3 pages (750 words), depending on how much data you have. This is very descriptive writing that relies on the data exclusively. Each theme should be identified as a subheading. The aim of your writing is to make the scenario fully understood by the reader.
4. Discussion of findings: theorize or analyze your findings but connecting your data to some of the published research in the field. To simplify this process, I have provided articles to be used. They are available through Google Scholar.
Components of final research paper and rubric (50 points)
1. Introduction: purpose of paper, the themes to be discussed. This is not a thesis statement, rather it is a roadmap for the reader as to the contents of the paper. (200 words, 2 points)
2. Research site: description of where the research took place. This should be a detailed description of the city, demographics (size, socio-economic indicators, diversity) as well as description of location and the research site itself (court room waiting area and court room). Feel free to include map inserts and drawings. Finally, who was observed (general characteristics - gender ethnicity age socioeconomic status). (250 words, 6 points)
3. Findings: key themes presented using subtitles, with data from field notes to support and illustrate each theme. (750 words, 20 points)
4. Discussion: Using the academic sources provided, you may choose to locate additional academic sources but this not required. Present a discussion as to how your data illustrates/confirms or challenges the published research. You are to focus on the theoretical arguments made by the authors of the article (these may not be explicitly gendered) and apply them to your gendered analysis of your data (500-750 words, 20 points)
5. Conclusion (200 words 2 points)
6. Sources: see below and any additional sources. (required)
