Description
These four-pages should not be outlined in bulletin points (for the obvious reason that it is a writing course). They should also not include the bibliography page, which should not be a listing of what I assign for this class. The bibliography should be the result of your research into the topic; therefore, it should demonstrate your understanding of certain areas within the larger discussion of gentrification. Further, the bibliography should involve both newspaper sources as well as scholarly written articles. Please write the paper in MLA format. Thank you.
Your topic should be relevant to this class. However, given that we are discussing the formation of race, you should also take this into consideration while formulating your topic. The following is a brief list of topics that you can research into:
1. the role of domestic and foreign investment in gentrification (with a specific area);
4. the role of rezoning in gentrification within a specific area;
3. the history of gentrification in a specific area and how it is linked with the history of gentrification in other areas of NYC;
4. NYC politics, politicians, local community groups’ role in the gentrification of a specific area.
The paper should expand on the premises of the paper. This expansion should be driven by a single thesis. Students should clearly argue a position on a given topic. The thesis is where the position stands. The rest of the paper should be used to support this thesis. Students are free to use newspapers or peer-reviewed articles as supporting evidences.
