1st Paper Assignment, due Friday, September 26th
Please write a short (5 pages, double-spaced) paper on the following topic:
Using three of the readings we have completed thus far, please make an argument based on the question "How does Anthropology, and ethnography specifically, whether effectively or ineffectively, help us achieve a new perspective on specific religious practices?" Drawing on both the texts read for class and outside sources of your choice (I can help you find these if necessary), please construct a traditional argument in your paper, including a thesis, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. Please consult me should you have any questions about the assignment.
