USC Racial Bias Developed within Photography Double Exposure Bibliography

**The topic is based racial bias developed within photography (specifically towards African Americans). Please use the attached file for the sources in which you site from. Feel free to include small images to reference the work but no more than 3 please.

Directions:

Write a formal research paper (page length requirements below in guidelines), addressing your approved topic of study. Remember to think about the following:

1. Where does your topic fit historically?
2. Who are the principle figures?
3. What are the contributing factors, developments, practices, etc.?

Guidelines:

• Your text must contain a minimum of 5-6 pages of expository prose–not including a cover page, bibliography/work cited page, and figures/images of works. -2 points per line will be deducted if shorter. Note: any student missing pages from other assignments must add them to this assignment.
• It must be double-spaced, with standard 1-inch margins.
• It must be in 12-point New Times Roman font.
• It must be in “formal” prose. This means no contractions, clichés, ending a sentence with a preposition, colloquialisms, and split infinitives. Run a grammar and spell check on the “formal” setting.
• It must include at least 5 academic/scholarly references (from your annotated bibliography and/or additional sources that follow the guidelines for research), substantiating your address/claims. Points will be deduced for citing non-academic sources.
• Remember to cite your sources with footnotes (I demonstrated this in class). I will not accept parenthetical documentation.
• Must use the Chicago Manual of Style for formatting references and citations.
• Points will be deducted for grammatical errors + for failure to follow directions.

Before you turn in your work, ask yourself:

• Is it double-spaced, with 1″ margins, and in 12-point New Times Roman font?
• Is it spell-checked and proofread?
• Is it grammatically correct?
• Was it revised? And, if so, how many times?
• Does it fit the page length requirements?
• Is your file in .doc or .docx file format?
• Did you review the rubric?
