I need a research paper about a problem that is solvable. I have chosen sexism in fine arts such as how few works in museums are done by women, or how much men outnumber women in orchestras. You can include both or just one depending on how much information there is. You can use any references you find or let me know and I will find some that I believe should work

Consider modern day slavery. How’s does Kincaids novel “A Small Place” outline different forms of modern day slavery? Think about things we discussed like imperialism, globalization and colonialism.

Abstract/Executive Summary – [½ – 1 page] While the abstract/executive summary may be the first element of your finished proposal, it is often best to write it last. Wait to tackle this abbreviated version of your project until after you have written all the other sections. ·         What is the problem/need? Who will the outcomes benefit? Identifies the solution and specifies the goal, objectives and methods of the project.  What will be done, by whom, how, over what period of time?   Ø  Section 1 – [2 ½ pages] Introduction/Background (including Statement of Problem/Need, Purpose of Research/Significance of Research) This section provides the introduction of a proposal begins with a capsule statement and then proceeds to introduce the subject to a stranger. It should give enough background to enable an informed lay person to place your particular research problem in a context of common knowledge and should show how its solution will advance the field or be important for some other work. The statement describes the significance of the problem(s), referring to appropriate studies or statistics.  ·         To establish the value of your project, you need to clarify the need or problem that your project responds to, If this problem affects a specific population, describe that group of people. Include data/statistics if appropriate. ·         It may be easier to think of this section as a review of Relevant Literature. Cite previous projects and studies that are similar to what you are proposing. Show the funding agency that you know what you are proposing because you are familiar with what has preceded you. Try to be careful in your use of language. ·         Position your project in relation to other efforts and show how your project: o   will extend the work that has been previously done, o   will avoid the mistakes and/or errors that have been previously made, o   will serve to develop stronger collaboration between existing initiatives, or o   is unique since it does not follow the same path as previously followed. ·         Use the statement of the problem to show that your proposed project is definitely needed and should be funded. ·         It is essential to include a well documented statement of the need/problem that is the basis for your project. What are the pressing problems that you want to address? How do you know these problems are important? What other sources/programs similarly support these needs as major needs. ·         What is the issue that you are addressing and why does it matter? o   Make clear what the research problem is and exactly what has been accomplished. ·         Why is what you are proposing necessary? What is the void in knowledge?  ·         Who benefits? Indicate the public good, not just the effect on your organization. ·         Provide convincing evidence obtained from a of the literature (peer-reviewed journal that what you are proposing does not duplicate other work. Replication of someone else’s work in a new environment or larger scale may be fundable. ·         Why hasn’t this issue been addressed sufficiently in the past? Show why the previous work needs to be continued. The literature review should be selective and critical. Discussions of work done by others should lead the reader to a clear idea of how you will build upon past research and how your work differs from theirs.  What theoretical framework will be used in this RFP? Ø  Section 2 – [3 ½ pages] Description of Proposed Research/Project Description (including goal(s) and objectives, methods/approach/activities) This section is the heart of the proposal and is the primary concern of the technical grant reviewers. A description of the proposed project will be provided. Now that a need/problem has been identified, funding will be requested to develop and implement the project to address the need. Describe why you/your organization are best suited to conduct what you propose to do? Is the proposed project an extension of successful, innovative work or a pilot project already completed? Be realistic about what can be accomplished during the funding period. Not applicable to all projects. ·         What is the project research questions? ·         Be explicit about any assumptions or hypotheses the research method rests upon ·         Target population/Clientele Include specific information on the population or clientele that your project is focused on.  Exactly who are the clientele? Who is included/excluded in the clientele group? In what ways have you already had contact with the clientele group? Can you show that you have the support of the clientele group to move ahead with the project?  In what ways (if any) have members of the clientele group been involved in the preparation of the proposal?  What other agencies are involved with this clientele group (and have these other agencies been included in your proposed project)? ·         What is the goal(s) of your project? Be realistic about what can be accomplished (SMART Objectives – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) and who will do them?  ·         Be certain that the connection between the research objectives and the research method is evident. ·         The objectives will form the basis for the activities of your project and will also serve as the basis for the evaluation of your project. ·         Present measurable objectives for your project. If you are dealing with “things” it is easier for them to be measured than if you are dealing with abstract ideas. Your proposal is easier for a prospective funding organization to understand (and the outcomes are much clearer) if you describe your objectives in measurable ways. ·         What will your project’s outcomes be? Discuss the specific outcomes to be achieved? What will change?  ·         How are you going to achieve those outcomes? What methods will you use? ·         Be as detailed as possible about the schedule of the proposed work. ·         Describe the specific activities involved.   ·         The prospective funding agency will be looking at your methods to see what it is that you are proposing that will be new, unique or innovative. Make sure you clearly present the innovative aspects of your idea. ·         Present a timeline of activities. Tables and charts work best here. They crystallize data, break up pages of narrative, and convey extensive information well in a limited space. ·         Discuss why you chose to address the issue in the manner being proposed. Are there other methods/approaches to address the identified need? If so, why are they not appropriate for the situation? Be clear about the focus of the research selected. ·         Delineating the impact is important because funders want to see that you have clearly established the realistic benefits of your work along with how you plan to verify and assess your achievements.   Ø  Section 3 – [1 page] Project Personnel and Narrative This section will include an explanation/justification of the proposed project personnel. The explanation/justification should specify how many persons, at what percentage of time and in what categories will be participating in the project and the lines of responsibility. ·         Refer back to your project activities – Section 2 and identify those people who will actually be paid from the grant. These are the ones to be identified in this section.  o   Include short descriptions of each of the people who will be involved in your project and supported by the funding. The descriptions should clarify in the mind of the potential funding agency that these people are ideally suited to conduct the project. o   Instead of having all full-time staff on the project, consider having a number of part-time. ·         Any student participation, paid or unpaid, should be mentioned, and the nature of the proposed contribution detailed. If any persons must be hired for the project, say so, and explain why, unless the need for persons not already available within the organization is self-evident.   Ø  Section 4 – [1 page] Evaluation Plan This section provides the type of evaluation, the method to be utilized and the personnel to conduct the evaluation. Be specific about the means of evaluating – when, how (method) and who (internal or external project evaluator) will conduct the evaluation. Outline clearly the methodology that you will use to assess the project’s success. ·         How will you measure or recognize your project’s achievements? ·         How can you be sure that your project will productively respond to the need or problem? Be specific about the means of evaluating the data or the conclusions. ·         The evaluation should be both quantitative and qualitative, if feasible.  ·         Discuss the application of the various evaluation types (formative, process, impact, summative, outcomes). ·         The expenses that will be incurred for the evaluation of the project (salary for a project evaluator) must be included in the personnel section and the budget.   Ø  Section 5 – [1 ½ pages] Budget, Continuation (Sustainability) Funding This section provides the detailed budget with the requested funds for the project expenses. Information required Sponsors customarily specify how budgets should be presented and what costs are allowable. ·         Make your budget realistic. Carefully think through exactly what you will need from the funding agency to carry out the project and establish your budget around this amount. (Do not forget, funding agencies receive lots of requests for funding. They can easily tell when someone has inflated a budget in order to procure funds for other purposes. Don’t get caught in this situation.) ·         Budgets are often formatted in tables and figures, each amount should be clearly labeled directly followed by the budget with be a justification statement explaining why each cost, material, and equipment is valid, reasonable, and important for your project. ·         The budget also specifies items paid for by other funding sources, including an explanation for requested expenses.  Indicate how the project will be funded or be sustainable after the grant funds have run out ·         Facilities a) Though you may not be requesting funds for the purchase or rental of facilities, it can be helpful to provide a brief description of the facilities that will be used for the project. b) Consider describing existing facilities that will be used for the project as in-kind contributions to the project. Even if you have free access to classrooms at a local school, meeting or a project room in a local office building, it can be helpful to indicate how much additional money the prospective funding agency would have to provide if these facilities were not donated. ·         Equipment/Supplies Be careful in listing the equipment that will be needed for your project. Funding sources are usually much more willing to provide funds for the support of personnel than they are to support the purchase of equipment (that may or may not directly benefit the funded project). It will help if you have really done some research on the actual cost of the equipment you specify. This is much better than guessing at the cost and then to be challenged on your estimates by the potential funding agency. It is easy to overlook many of the office supplies or consumables that will be needed for your project.   Ø  Section 6 – [1 page] Dissemination Plan/Communication Strategy Describe your communication strategy, how the project design, results and aspects of the project will be shared with stakeholders – be creative. ·         How will you be sharing information about your project with others? Will your project include a Newsletter? How about a website? The more open you are and willing to help others learn from your experiences the more likely a funding agency will be interested in assisting. ·         Dissemination should be linked to your project goal(s) and objectives. If you are trying to affect policy, your dissemination plan should target policymakers, media, and affected populations. The dissemination strategy should be tailored to the specific stakeholders. ·         Any cost related to dissemination activities has to be included in the budget. Consider including in your proposal additional funds for hosting some form of workshop or symposium where you can bring together other professionals who are interested in conducting a similar type of project in their area. This would be a good way to publicly recognize your funding organization. Invite someone from the funding organization to attend the workshop so they can hear what others think about the investment they have made.   Ø  Section 7 List of References

ESSAY QUESTIONSCHOOSE ONE QUESTION!3,000 WORDS1. Despite the forces of globalisation, political, social and economic processes at the level of nation-states still shape some aspects of transnational crime and international terrorism. Discuss.2. Globalisation provides crucial impetus to international trafficking but experts often ignore the embeddedness of transboundary criminal activities in local dynamics. Discuss.3. Many in ‘global south’ blame local corruption on the lax financial regulations in the West. Do you agree with this argument? Why or why not?4. Contrary to the popular view, there are a number of ways in which globalisation hinders international functioning of organised crime groups and makes them more vulnerable to law enforcement action. Do you agree with this argument? Why or why not?5. Some experts think that in contemporary Europe crime-terror nexus is not an important issue because most of the terrorist attacks are cheap and can be funded in various non-criminal ways. Discuss.

In this class, we are learning to analyse the creative work of performing, and to consider how different performances of the same work can actually change how audiences understand that work. Choose a work that has been performed multiple times (e.g. a well-known play, beloved piece of music, a film that has been remade) and compare and contrast at least two (but no more than three) versions. Discuss the impact of different storytelling approaches, and the extent to which they change the meaning of the artwork.

Overview  Your project proposal outlines the scope and focus of your research project, which is worth 30% of your final grade in this course. In doing so, you will have the chance to test the project parameters to ensure they are both realistic and engaging to you. It is common — even expected — for the scope of a research project to adjust over time, but beginning with a clear sense of your topic will set you up for success in the weeks to come. Your proposal consists of two parts: Your research overview An annotated bibliography  Part 1: Research Overview  For this part of the assignment, your proposal should adhere to a general APA proposal format, as outlined below: Title Page. Include the proposed title of your research paper, your name, and your institution.  Abstract (max. 150 words). On the next page, summarize your proposal by defining your topic and your research question. Include a brief rationale for your topic selection — in other words, why does this issue matter now? What do you expect to add to the conversation? Write your abstract last after the other elements of the proposal are complete — you cannot synthesize something you haven’t yet written.  Main Body of Proposal (500-750 words). On the next page, write your working title centered at the top. Introduction. Your introduction is, in some ways, an expanded version of your abstract. Here, you aim to answer the “So what?” question that is raised by every research endeavor. Consider the historical and contemporary stakes of the issue. You should also include the revised research question for your research paper.  Literature review. The literature review orients your reader to the major thematic components of the existing scholarly and public conversation regarding your topic. Consider the following as you write your literature review: What literature currently exists about your topic? What angles do the authors take? What isn’t being said that needs to be said? What can you add to the conversation?  Part 2: Annotated Bibliography A crucial part of writing effective research papers is the ability to stay organized. An annotated bibliography is one tool that many researchers use to keep their bibliographic information, quotes, paraphrases, summaries, and analyses in one place for later reference. While a references page documents all of the sources actually cited in your final paper, an annotated bibliography organizes source material you are considering as you move through your research process. Then, when you are ready to begin using and citing source material in your paper, much of the work has already been done. Note: The annotated bibliography, though listed last here, is actually the first step you will take toward assembling your research proposal. Please note: Your sources should come from a variety of publications and represent a variety of arguments/perspectives on your topic.  You must annotate at least six sources; at least three of your sources must come from peer-reviewed, academic journals.  None of your sources may come from references—that is, none of your sources should be dictionary or encyclopedia entries or the like (e.g. Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, etc.).  All of your sources must have an identifiable author or set of authors, unless the source is a state or federal government website.  Each annotated source must begin with an APA-style citation for the source, and your annotations should begin directly below its corresponding citation. Annotations are generally between 150-200 words each. To write your annotations, start with one or two sentences describing each of the following topics: A summary of the central theme, scope, and purpose of the source. What argument is being made? How is that argument supported? To what situation does the work seem to be responding? An evaluation of the authority or background of the author. What attitude does the author seem to have about the topic?  Commentary on the intended audience (scholarly, public, medical community, etc.)  Comparing or contrasting this work with another source on your list. Does the source echo the claims made by others? Does it add another dimension to the conversation? How is the source similar to or different from the other sources you’ve located? An explanation of how this work illuminates your topic, including comments on the overall quality or usefulness of the source in relation to your own argument/research. To do the above work well and in such a limited number of words requires that you thoroughly understand your source. Print out your sources, read them carefully, and annotate them well.
