This graduate seminar provides an understanding of forced migration processes (the complex causes, characteristics, and consequences of displacement) and of the “refugee problem” (how international policy-makers and scholars have constructed displacement as an object for analysis and action—and some of the consequences of this construction). The course will pay particular attention to the ways social relations and identities at various intersecting levels are influenced by displacement.
Graduate students enrolled in the course will research and write a Wikipedia article related to the content of this course. The Wikipedia Project consists of a series of assignments you will complete. Your final encyclopedia articles will be posted to Wikipedia. You will then write an analytical research paper on a similar topic.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
If you may pick a topic related to medicine, human health, or psychology, review Wikipedia's rules for topics related to medicine, human health, and psychology.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate your chosen Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation or making a small improvement to your article. There are a few ways you can do this:
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources:
Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
P.S. Expert Help With Your Own Article
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
