I asks you to do some library research to find out what sociologists
already know about immigration and cultural diversity in large urban
areas. (in your own words)
This is the first step in a project designed to get you out into the real world and “doing sociology.” Our project will eventually ask you to make observations at two grocery stores in our local community and make sense of what you see by applying relevant sociological concepts.
But, before I send you out to do your observations, this first step asks you to do some library research to find out what sociologists already know about immigration and cultural diversity in large urban areas.
Your goal in this activity is to use the resources of Reinsche Library to find two recent articles (last 3 years: 2015-2017) from prominent sociology journals that deal with immigration and/or cultural diversity in cities. I strongly encourage you to search in one of the journal on the list provided below.
Once you find two appropriate articles, you’ll complete this worksheet (Food Market Comparison – Step 1 Worksheet 2017.xlsx
) Excel }to identify the title and source of your articles and provide a brief summary (in your own words) of the main findings from each article.
