Sarah Thebaud and Amanda Sharkey’s paper (“Unequal hard times Download Unequal hard times”), highlights the role of gender in decisions about entrepreneurial lending through an intriguing puzzle: while gender stereotypes generally assume that women are safer investors because they are–on average–more risk averse then men, after the 2008 financial crisis, women entrepreneurs were less likely to obtain credit because they lacked an appropriate record of prior lending.
In a brief, 500 word essay, I want you to address the general question of how gender stereotypes affect innovation from training and funding to design and production.
In addition to Thebaud and Sharkey’s paper, you may illustrate your argument with examples from the podcast 99% Invisible (Episode: Invisible WomenLinks to an external site.) that deals with Caroline Criado Perez’s work on gendered design. But you must also use one additional example not provided in either Thebaud and Sharkey’s article or the 99% Invisible podcast. This will require doing a little bit of independent research on gender, innovation, and entrepreneurship (think of topics close to your interests, for example, women in science/engineering/ women in leadership positions/ women in government and public administration/ the gender of markerspaces, etc.). When using this example, you must include a complete bibliographic reference for it.

This assignment is not like a book report you may have completed in high school;
This assignment is not like a book report you may have completed in high school; you
should avoid summarizing or re-stating the themes of the book. Instead, use your book
review to address the following three questions.
a. What does the text suggest about the social and legal statuses attached to
disability? In answering this question, think about what dynamics the author is
addressing: How is power organized? Through what mechanisms or institutions?
With what consequences?
b. Based on the authors’ or editors’ approach to the issues or any explicitly stated
philosophy, what is the text’s underlying political and social agenda? The answer
to this question should not be: “the book’s subject is…”, but rather, an
identification of what the authors’ or editors’ want. What changes in policy,
practice, or social structures do they want to bring about? What are they trying to
persuade their readers of?
c. How does the text relate to the course reserve readings, lectures or other
materials? Be very explicit— citing other readings, concepts from lectures, films,
or speakers specifically. What does the text add to your understanding of the
issues we are addressing in this course? Just mentioning other materials is not
adequate. You should explain how they relate to the book or vice versa.
There should be around 850 words in the review The book is: Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind by Osagie Obasogie
A pdf of the book is attached to this message ,
The course reserve readings are: – “Now Protected or Still Stigmatized”
– “Ten Principles of Disability Justice”

Chou and Choi identify three main areas of research on Asian Americans: discrimination, the model minority myth, identity and racial domination, and intersectional oppression. In a paragraph (or two) share your impressions of the material covered under one of those areas. Where you familiar with this, and it is through research, experience, observation, or some combination of the three? Do you think the issue is specific to Asian Americans and Asians or do you believe other minorities have comparable experiences? Do you have ideas about other topics that could be explored. There are no correct or incorrect answers.

Goal: Complete a research design (see Hesse-Biber, Chapters 3-5 & additional assigned readings) for your in-depth interview pilot study that includes: 1) a descriiption of your proposed research, including a clearly written purpose statement, a qualitative-based research question (QRQ) and 1-2 sub-questions; 2) an outline of methodology; 3) a discussion of ethical procedures, including your informative scriipt; and 4) an in-depth-interview guide. Assignment: Using Word, complete the assignment (in about 5-7 double spaced pages, excluding a reference section) by addressing the outline below. Type your paper in paragraph form; use subheadings in your paper. Do NOT include the assignment instructions nor the point totals in your final draft. Save your paper in following file name format before uploading it: Your Last Name and First Initial (e.g.,). In addition to your name, use an abbreviation of the assignment in the file name to help with organization of your work. Remember: Keep It Simple Students! (KISS!)
NOTE: At this point of the research process, all coursework must include in-text citations and references, whether from existing research studies, the textbook, or other assigned readings. Citing information provides credibility to your work and makes it distinct from opinion.
ASSIGNMENT OUTLINE
**Create a title of your proposed depth-interview pilot study. I. Area of Sociological Interest, Research Topic, Qualitative Purpose Statement & Qualitative Research Question (5 points) Identify the area of sociological interest and related research topic. Provide your purpose statement, central/qualitative research question and 1-2 sub-questions. Then, explain the following for your proposed pilot study: the research purpose (exploratory, descriiptive, or explanatory), the specific interpretive approach used to formulate your research question (see Hesse Biber textbook on pages 23-32) and the study’s sociological importance. Also, include context for your study by 1) citing a minimum of five (5) previous research studies, and 2) addressing how your proposed research addresses a gap in the literature and contributes to the area of sociological interest and/or research topic.
II. Methodology (15 points) A. Describe the potential research population for your proposed study. Be specific by including the important characteristics that are relevant to your proposed research study. Why has this population been selected?
B. Specify and explain the nonrandom sampling procedure(s) will you use to locate your potential interviewees. Explain where you will recruit potential interviewees ( social media, the general public). If you plan to use recruitment materials (flyers, posting on social media, e-mail contact, word o mouth) then include the language you will use for recruitment. Based on the characteristics of the potential sample, what concerns are there, if any, in regard to finding participants? Discuss how you will conduct the interviews (in-person, Zoom) ONLINE VIA ZOOM and where will you conduct interviews. Approximate how long each interview will take to complete. What structure level will your interview questions be—and why? (See Hesse Biber textbook on pages 112-114.) Explain whether you have insider status and/or outside status in relation to your potential interviewees. Also, discuss how the process of reflexivity informs your insider/outside and its influence on designing your proposed research and how you will collect interview data. III. Application of Ethical Considerations (10 points) Based on your proposed research and research population, describe/explain how your proposed research exhibits “no more than minimal risk of harm” for potential interviewees. What you will do if an interviewee experiences “an adverse reaction” (emotional, psychological, social, physiological) during the interview
**Include the informative scriipt you will share with interviewees before the interview
IV. Appendix: In-Depth Interview Guide (5 points) Include a draft of the interview guide you will use to interview potential interviewees. Ultimately, this interview guide (with the necessary revisions from feedback) will be the one you use to conduct interviews later this semester. You cannot conduct any interviews with the guide until Dr. Dugan has graded and returned the proposal assignment back to you. Make sure interview questions: 1) follow a logical order, 2) are clearly written (including grammar/punctuation/spelling), and 3) are relevant questions for what you would like to find out from interviewees to help answer your research question. Use section headings to organize/group the interview questions you plan to ask interviewees.
Additional Grading Criteria
Paper Organization and Format (5 points) Is the paper clearly organized? Is there a logical flow throughout the paper? Has the paper met all format guidelines outlined, as well as clear paragraph structure and logical development and progression of ideas throughout the proposal? Writing (5 points): Ask yourself: Does writing meet, at the least, college level expectations? Is the paper written in an academic, qualitative way? Is there a high level of clarity in writing? Is writing relatively free from grammar & spelling errors? Is writing free from errors such as run on sentences, sentence fragments? Correct Use of In-Text Citations & References in ASA Format (5 points): Correct application of ASA format for in-text citations and listing of sources used in the reference section. If there are five (5) or more significant ASA formatting errors for in-text citations AND references in your entire paper, you will not earn any points (0/5). If there are less than five (5) significant ASA format errors for in-text citations AND references in your entire paper, you will earn all five points (5/5). . If no previous research is cited in your proposal, you will not earn the five points.
• Significant errors include, but are not limited to, using the title of a study in the body of your paper, not putting the exact words from a study in quotation marks, a missing reference listing for an in-text citation, a missing in-text citation for a reference listed at the end of your paper, no reference section included, or a reference listing is not in ASA Style format.

Sociologists use the concept “relativity of deviance” to describe how acts of de
Sociologists use the concept “relativity of deviance” to describe how acts of deviance can vary among groups, often within the same society. Thus, it is not the act itself, but rather how a group labels and responds to an act that determines if the act is deviant in society. Consider the recent policy from the National Football League (NFL) regarding players standing for the national anthem.
NFL owners have unanimously approved a new national anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance but gives them the option to remain in the locker room if they prefer. (The policy is currently on hold as of July 2018).
The policy subjects teams to a fine if a player or any other team personnel do not show respect for the anthem. That includes any attempt to sit or kneel, as dozens of players have done during the past two seasons to protest racial inequality and police brutality. Those teams also will have the option to fine any team personnel, including players, for the infraction.
This discussion will require you to apply three sociological concepts and/or theories related to deviance to analyze the existing tension regarding the National Anthem during NFL games. How can the policy be viewed as “deviant” from multiple sides of this discussion. Consider the perspective of the thirty-two team owners, the players and the fans who purchase tickets to the game and subscribe to football packages each season.
