Long Paper Guidelines
The purpose of the long paper is to allow you (as student activists) to experiment with analyzing and
researching human rights and politics, based on literature and /or film. The content and direction of the
paper is open to much negotiation. The only papers that are out of bounds are those that focus primarily
on ideas that have little or nothing to do with the course topic. Nor should your paper comprise a
generalized research paper. It must privilege representations of human rights issues as pertains to multiple
genres of literature or film. You may select strictly from required course materials or a topic of interest to
you not adequately covered in this course and on which you would like more information.
As active learners, present why you think the issue is important, what conclusions you have provisionally
drawn from the information you have gathered and, as appropriate, what you think are the biases or
inadequacies of the sources that you used. The grading grid indicates the content areas of exemplary
importance: argument, theory, and examples
. You may utilize theoretical approaches based on the Drezner text or other interdisciplinary evidence. Do not shy away from the issues the zombie canon imposes, relating to the question: “Who is the ‘human’ in Human Rights?” Remember,
an analysis usually examines only a single topic and relates it to the entire work. Avoid literary summaries.
To put to rest any potential “blatant confusion,” regarding the paper’s presentation, without exception, the
required length of the short analytical paper should be, at least, 12 pages, using the Times New Roman 12-point
font. You should conduct a modicum of research (referencing, at least, three credible resources). No Wikipedia, please. You must acknowledge the use of all outside sources.
