Potential question:
What are the impacts of globalization on workers with regard to migration and citizenship specifically? [Note: You can focus on a specific group of workers if you want.] In what ways does globalization encourage or discourage labour migration? How does the mobility of labour, of workers, compare to the mobility of capital, of trans-national corporations? What are the relationships between labour migration and citizenship? Why has immigration become such a hot-button issue in the last few years and what kind of politics does this inspire? Why has nationalism emerged as a significant political issue? What are possible solutions for the conflicts between globalization, labour migration, and citizenship?
You should offer a thesis statement; a detailed explanation of the major issues relevant to your theme; offer a critical analysis of the sources you have selected, including commentary on whether or not their arguments are convincing; relate your chosen sources and topic to the general themes and concepts of the course; and, explain how they address current social problems and debates. In your critical analysis, you may agree or disagree with the readings, but you must offer evidence for your arguments.
Your research essay can cite course readings, but you must also use at least two peer-reviewed social science sources that are not course readings. You can also bring in other forms of relevant media, including newspapers, broadcasts, etc.
