Topic: Research how Native Alaskan Indians and Native American Indians treat and value their two-spirit persons and how their cultural ideas around two-spirit people can and have influenced modern LGTBQ+ culture in America. Assignment: Write this report as if you were communicating with a person who has not taken this class but wants to know more about anthropology. Your purpose is to explain the process of ethnographic fieldwork, present your findings, and describe your experience as an anthropologist. For this assignment, you may use a tone of voice that suggests that you will carry out this fieldwork research in the future, even though you will not actually do so. Introduction Introduce your topic and area to the audience. You should assume that your audience knows very little about anthropology or the geographic location in which you want to conduct research. Briefly mention why this area is interesting. What are the anthropological questions that you plan to answer? What definition of culture has guided your research? Who influenced this definition? Setting, Geography, Culture, History What is the exact field site you are planning to study? Briefly describe the site. You will not be expected to travel to this site for this class. Explain any relevant historical, cultural, or otherwise important or interesting information about this location (this is where you explain the big picture). How did you select this particular field site? What did you already know about this site that helped guide your research? What preconceived ideas did you have about this place and the people? The Literature Review What are the anthropological precedents for your study? Has this area been studied by anthropologists in the past? Who was the first anthropologist to study this area? Summarize the major anthropological conclusions. What have these anthropologists written about this area and culture? How has this area changed since anthropological studies where first carried out in this area? Has anyone conducted research on your topic in this place or in other places of the world? Summarize these results as well. The Importance of Your Research Answer as much of this as you can at this point. Why is your study going to be important? What contributions do you expect to make to existing anthropological research? How can your proposed research help us understand culture and the nature of being human in general? What contributions do you expect to make for the greater good of science in general? Why does this research matter?
