You’re going to write an interdisciplinary literature review reflecting upon the major scholarly contributions (within the last 30 years) in one of the broad areas of study defined in the Week 4 module of this course. There are some parameters you’ll need to be mindful of as you’re writing. First, you’ll only be allowed to use peer-reviewed sources for this assignment and you’ll receive a deduction for any sources that cannot be verified as peer-reviewed. Second, you will review 6 articles from 6 different disciplines. Two of the disciplines must be Social Science, Two Humanities, and Two Natural Sciences.
You’ll divide your paper into 3 main sections (Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences) and for each of the two articles within those sections be sure to include the following information:
1. The authority and the qualifications of the author should be clearly stated. An example of how to do this would be, “Based on 20 years of study, William A. Smith, professor of History at XYZ University ..." If there are multiple authors do this for the first listed author only.
2. Restate the specific research question the scholar(s) asked or thesis statement they tested.
3. Explain the scope and main purpose of the research, including the methods used and data collected and analyzed in the study. Try to do this is 3 to 5 sentences, with at least one direct citation, and what specific contribution this makes to the subject area.
At the end, include a brief 4th section of the paper reflecting upon how reading across disciplines has helped to reshape your perspective on the topical area of study. What have you learned? Has the scholarly knowledge you’ve encountered changed your opinions in any way? How would you discuss your research with friends and family who haven’t read what you have?
This paper should be 1500 or more words in length, and you may use any citation style you like, as long as you use it consistently. Include a works cited at the end.
Also, Please reference and use the additional materials I have attached to this assignment.
