You will choose a topic related the issues covered in this course (such as counterterrorism, the international response to genocide, the experience of refugees, or the victims of climate change), and write a research question based on how structural racism impacts this topic. You will complete a multi-part essay assignment culminating in a 2,500 word essay answering your research question, using at least five scholarly sources (peer-reviewed journal articles and/or chapters from edited books published by academic presses).
