Paper details Your final paper (due during finals week) will be an extended overview and critical engagement of the readings and film for which you presented on. Meaning at the end of the quarter you will submit a 6-8 page “Thought Paper” based on the readings, screening and your critical thoughts on them. So while you may be presenting as part of a group, you will be responsible for turning in your own “Thought Paper” for the week/screening that you presented on. 12 point font, double spaced and with a bibliography attached. —————————————————————————————————— As far as film/video clips, for Monday, please watch Xala, as well as the following two short video clips (one is from Pilger and other on Perkins – part 1) around the role of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) in subverting Third World liberation.
