Please write a 500-word essay based on the prompt below. Your essay should “critically engage with the substance of the speaker’s talk using concepts and examples from the course readings to make an argument in response to the presentation.” You need to show evidence in your essay that you have engaged with Professor Darian-Smith’s lecture, the guest’s lecture, and the reading materials. If we can’t tell in your writing that you engaged with those 3 components you will be marked down.
Prompt:
Write a brief response paper of approximately 500 words making your own argument about Professor Al-Bulushi’s reading and presentation. There are some questions to think about listed below. You don’t need to answer them all.
What topics or issues did Professor Al-Bulushi engage with? Were the issues touched on global-scale issues? Which global dimensions of the issue were discussed?
Was the presenter’s analysis of the issue a global analysis? What interdisciplinary and global perspectives, if any, were employed?
Was there more than one level involved in the analysis (transnational, regional, national or local)? If so, how did the local level figure into the presenter’s analysis? How did the issues discussed impact the local, or vice versa?
What did the reading assigned by the presenter contribute to their presentation?
