In the last year, international migration has transformed into one of the most pressing issues of our time. People from across the political spectrum ask themselves: Are all migrations the same? What choices do people have in deciding where to live and work? This class will consider the topic of migrations through the lens of globalization. Globalization involves the movement of people, goods, financial assets, and ideas across multiple international borders. More localized movements, such as those between two countries, can also be considered global when they display a widespread, patterned quality in multiple places throughout the world.
In this class, students will explore ideas associated with globalization and migration in academic literature and in the popular knowledge setting that is Wikipedia. Given how complex the topic can be and the way people writing on globalization and migration tend to try to persuade their audiences, our explorations will emphasize the neutral presentation of substantiated findings. The course guides students in identifying which topics in the area of globalization and migration have received relatively little attention on the Wikipedia universe. Students will then carry out their own research on topics of their choosing to bolster the information available to the broader reading public. In all, students will research and publish three, 250-word entries. These entries can be a sub-section of an existing Wikipedia page or constitute new pages.

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course.
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.
Begin a blog about your experiences on the course Moodle site. Your blog can discuss questions related to globalization and migration and/or reflect on the research and writing process. During the semester, create at least one blog entry each week during the Wikipedia assignment. Blog entries should be 250-500 words each. The blog will form the basis for the final, reflective paper due at the end of the course. (Notice: The paper will not repeat the blog, but it will employ the blog to take the reflective process to the next and final level for this course.) Final grades for blogs will be based on percent complete. A complete blog will contain between 3,500-7,000 words.
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
Word maps help us think about the array of vocabulary associated with a particular topic. The vocabulary is important because it offers possible encyclopedia entries. In other words, the set of vocabulary associated with a topic forms part of the foundation for how a topic is understood.
For our next class,
use this website to create two word maps on two topics you want to pursue further this semester. Submit to the class Moodle site your word maps and a one-page comparison of the vocabulary list you created with your word map and the associated vocabulary used in Wikipedia.
To get a start finding the vocabulary associated with a topic of interest to you, begin with this Wikipedia page on "
immigration" and this page on
"globalization." Then, compare vocabulary from Wikipedia with scholarly approaches to the topic. I listed below links to a number of readers that can help you. If none of these seem quite right, search for additional topics via the library catalog. I found these by searching for 'globalization and migration."
Child and youth migration : mobility-in-migration in an era of globalization
Empires and walls : globalization, migration, and colonial domination
Globalisation, migration and health : challenges and opportunities
Globalization for development : trade, finance, aid, migration, and policy
Human rights and the dark side of globalisation : transnational law enforcement and migration control

It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to the course and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:
Today we will take the "Add to an Article" exercise deeper. Come to class prepared to revisit the additions you made, create new additions, and review your changes with the professor and your peers.
Write up a one-page, double-spaced justification for each of the three, 250-word entries you will create. Submit the three pages in all to the class Moodle site. The justification should include the following:
1. A definition of the three topics you will research. The definition should include descriptions of three associated terms (for example, from the word mapping exercise) and how your chosen terms are distinctive from these linked concepts.
2. An explanation of how your three topics are both "global" and related to migration.
3. A description of how these terms fit in the Wikipedia universe (for example, the term has been identified by the Wikipedia community) and how they relate to one another.
Today, we will review your choices as a group and troubleshoot any potential problems.
Wikipedia has special rules for topics related to medicine, human health, and psychology. If you think your research is medically related, be sure to check out this training module.
It's time to choose an article and assign it to yourself.
Visiting lecture from library staff:
Use the handout on 'Tracking Your Research' posted on Moodle to identify scholarly articles associated with your topic. (Moodle also has a sample form already completed.) Be sure to download articles that seem like like good candidates for further review. Fill out the 'Tracking Your Research' form. Submit the completed form to the course Moodle site and bring completed handout to next class.
Submit your completed 'Tracking Your Research' handout to Moodle.
Watch this 4 minute video on
“Anatomy of a Scholarly Article.” Read the 2 page handout posted on Moodle to understand how authors in the humanities and social sciences map out their arguments.
This week, we will meet as class to continue the literature search. During the class period, the professor will carry out individual meetings to advance student projects.
The list of five sources for each topic area (fifteen sources in all) should include three to five sentences of justification for each entry. Sources should be cited in the Chicago Manual of Style system. Please follow this link for a citation guide.
Fill out one Note Taking Worksheet for each of two articles. Submit to course Moodle site.*
Fill out Note Taking Worksheet for three articles that form a set with the two articles from the previous class. Submit to course Moodle site.*
In anticipation of drafting your article/contribution, complete the Analyzing Your Sources Worksheet using the articles from last week. Submit to course Moodle site.*
We will use the rhetorical themes identified in this article for our discussion of neutrality next week.
It's time! As a reminder...
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.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Continue to work in your sandbox to carry out the re-write.
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?
How's the blog coming along? You probably now have lots to write about.
Analyze sources for second article/contribution.
Write draft of your 2nd article/contribution in your sandbox. Name the file "2nd article, 1st draft." Read Editing Wikipedia page 12 to see how to create links from your article to others, and from other articles to your own. Try to link to 3–5 articles, and link to your article from 2–3 other articles.
Respond to feedback by re-writing article/contribution.
Finalize draft and move your work to Wikipedia (graded draft).
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Content Expert at any time if you need further help!
Analyze sources for 3rd article/contribution
Write draft of 3rd article/contribution in sandbox. Name the file "3rd article, 1st draft" (graded draft).
Respond to feedback by re-writing article/contribution.
