2. sociology interview
Race & Minority Relations
SYD 4700 – 02
Spring 2018
Paper 2:
The second writing assignment involves demonstrating your understanding of how analyzing how socialization reinforces racial behaviors and attitudes by applying course concepts concerning race and ethnicity to an interview that you will conduct.
For this paper, you will interview someone who identifies as a different race than yourself. Preferably, you should interview a stranger. It will be best if you can record the interview, so that you can analyze it later. Analyze the interviews using your understanding of core concepts and by applying your sociological imagination.
You will write your findings up in a narrative format. You will have an introduction and a conclusion. When you start analyzing your data, you will first describe your sample: this means you will tell all the demographic details about your respondent.
You will not use their real name! Next, you will talk about their responses to the different questions that you will ask and you apply the theories and course material that we have been using in class when applicable. I will give an example of this in class.

WRITING TIPS
• Write in formal academic narrative form (i.e. use full sentences and paragraphs). Do not use bullet points.
• Writing matters. Proofread and edit to ensure your message is clearly conveyed throughout the paper. Spellcheck is your friend.
• Do not include contractions in formal class papers (e.g., use “do not” NOT “don’t”).
• Make sure that the sections of your paper flow to make one coherent paper.
• Keep the reader in mind when you write. Your paper should be easily accessible.
• Use topic sentences (aka “focus sentences”) to begin each paragraph. Every paragraph should include a topic sentence that identifies the main idea of the paragraph. A topic sentence also states the point the writer wishes to make about that subject. The supporting details in the paragraph will develop, explain, or support the topic sentence.
• A folder containing writing resources is available in the “Writing Resources” section of our course webpage.
