Homework due 7/14

Welcome to hardcore academic reading! (That's my secret way of saying, "Give yourself enough time to read.  Six pages doesn't sound like a lot, but sometimes it is.")

Oops, I'm getting ahead of myself and haven't actually written what the reading assignment is yet. Without further ado... 

Assignment: Read pp. 1-6 from "Sociology of Discrimination" (up until the "Is Discrimination Still..." header). As and after you read, please complete the following:

• Circle words you don’t know and look them up.  (dictionary.com can work for most standard vocabulary)
• Note questions and/or comments about the text.
• Identify a potential thesis from the abstract on the first page.
• Based on the abstract, write a new version of the thesis using your own words—don’t worry about sounding all scientificky and academic; that’s the beauty of paraphrasing!

Thanks and email/comment if you have questions/concerns/comments!
