Short Paper Instructions:
The paper should use original, empirical research articles provided for each topic to address the following question:
“How does Gender shape our identity or social relations?”
The short paper should:

•Demonstrate an understanding of key concepts used (please note, this does not mean the insertion of a definition, but discussion and application of the concept in a way that shows your understanding. Aim to paraphrase as much as possible).

• Have a clear focus and manageable scope (i.e. it is not possible to discuss all of the ways that gender shapes identity or ethnicity shapes social relations so you will need to narrow your focus to be more specific. Focusing your response on the findings of 1 – 2 original research articles from the further reading list for your topic will help with this).
• Synthesise information on the topic towards making an argument.
• Show that you have engaged with sociological reading on the topic.
• Cite and reference (APA) at least four scholarly sources from the Further Reading list (See Readings Attachment) for your topic, including at least one original, empirical research article. Please note that you are not expected to undertake independent research for this paper but rather to demonstrate the depth of your engagement with unit materials.
• Indicate the word length at the end or on the cover sheet. The word count should not be more than 10% over or under the word limit – marks may be deducted if they are.

Students to construct their own title relevant to the topic of research covered in the experiment. Must give an overview of the experiment whilst at the same time being concise.
TOPIC: The aim of the experiment is to investigate one of the hypotheses of Bruce and Young’s (1986) face recognition theory: that a person’s name is harder to remember than their occupation. A second variable, facial expression, is also investigated.
The report is designed to allow you to relate the concepts of ‘face recognition’ (the various theories, and general approaches used in the study of face recognition) to the conditions of investigation used in this study. You will be guided through the experimental work during your tutorials.
To be written as a report using the correct format.

(Please refer to the marking criteria below)

Introduction to Visual Analysis and Renaissance Art
Paper details

The Renaissance was a rebirth of Greek and Roman culture, both of which placed the human at the center of the universe. Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Michelangelo’s Ceiling from the Sistine Chapel are two famous artworks from the Renaissance that both reflect and respond to the resurgence of humanism in European history. Both depict the human body, but in very different ways. For this case assignment, give a formal analysis of these two artworks, focusing on how the human body is being represented. Use the required course materials to help you discuss, briefly, (1) the history of Renaissance art and these two artists in particular, (2) what humanism is, and (3) how Da Vinci and Michelangelo approach the representation of the human body differently. (*You can focus on any or all of the fresco paintings on Michelangelo’s ceiling; The Creation of Adam being the most famous.)
•An explanation of the values—influences, themes, techniques, subjects—characteristic of the period or style under study.
•Some information about how the social, political, or religious history of the period influenced its art and artists.
•Biographical information about the artist whose work is assigned or (in SLP assignments) chosen for reflection.

1. “…the two great forming agencies of the world’s history have been the religious and the economic” [as cited in Heilbroner, 1996, p. 229].

What does Marshall mean by this? Explain by giving the context of this quotation and relate it to the course objectives.

2. Walras introduces a distinction between the pure theory of economics and applied economics ( starting: Heilbroner 1996, p. 224).
