For undergraduate students: Choose one of the following case studies: The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) crisis in Canada Choose one of the following theoretical frameworks: Intersectionality (K.

For example, “In this paper, I will argue x, y, and z”) The structure of your paper: Outline the structure of your paper. For example, “this paper is divided into four parts. In the first part I will explain x,y,z…” A Historical account of your case study: In this section, provide historical background on your chosen case study: What happened? Describe the narrative of the case study. When and where? Provide the relevant timeline and location(s). Your theoretical framework: Provide a definition of your selected theoretical framework and explain how it helps illuminate specific aspects of your case. This analysis should answer the following question: How does this theory help you understand x, y, or z? Your analysis: Bring together your case, theory, and selected analytical approach (CRT tenets or GCRT elements) to support your thesis. A Conclusion: Summarize the main arguments of your paper. A References section: Include all the sources you used (academic and non-academic). You are expected to cite a minimum of seven (7) sources, as follows: Five (5) of those must be academic sources (journal articles, academic books, international organizations’ reports, course lectures, readings).

Please note that only one (max) counts towards the 5 academic sources Format: Length: 3000-4000 words (plus References) Use a consistent citation style (APA or Chicago are preferred, but feel free to use a different one, as long as it is used properly and consistently throughout the paper)
