In this assignment, you will conduct a review of existing literature in order to answer a single question on a
topic of interest to you that is relevant to the sociological study of childhood. Appropriate questions may range from
the broad to specific. Examples of possible questions are: How does children’s use of electronic devices affect
parent-child relationships? How does childhood trauma affect development? How does California’s child welfare
system work? You will answer your question by reviewing current scholarly, policy and current events literature on
your topic and writing up a synthetic review of this material. Here the word “synthetic” means to bring things together,
as in “synthesize”, which means that in addition to summarizing your sources, you will also evaluate them and
suggest directions for future research.
You will be expected to incorporate material from at least 6 sources in your paper. You may use material from
the class reading list if that is appropriate for your topic, but you are expected to incorporate other sources as well.
