Essay Outline: Liberal Arts Disciplines

Explore psychology and examine the history of how that discipline interacts with diverse peoples, cultures, and groups. Outline Requirements: •Construct a title, proposal, research question, and short outline around your selected discipline and the following statement: “The discipline of ZZZ has struggled with the ethical and fair treatment of people from diverse backgrounds and women entering or working in this field since it was founded.” •Clearly identify the liberal arts discipline of your choice. •Devise a clear precise research question around the topic of fair and equitable treatment for a specific group, such as women, racial or ethnic groups, different cultures, etc. within this disciplinary field. Not all disciplines will cover all groups, but most will cover at least 2 or 3. ◦Your outline should include: ◦Introduction ◦Historical data ◦Today’s data ◦Change over time ◦Be sure you examine the issues of minorities and women. (Your discipline may also include specific religious groups who were ostracized.) ◦Compare the discipline’s progress to others; how does it compare? What is the social context? (Ex: The civil rights movement of the 1960s had a huge impact on society, but what was the impact on the discipline or field? Think about baseball and Jackie Robinson.) ◦YOUR analysis and examination of possible solutions you have found, as well as your own ideas to build your conclusion. •None of these components should be written in paragraph or essay form; you should just provide core ideas. Bullet-points are fine. You haven’t got all the facts yet, just show that you know where you will be going.
