Response papers are basically your responses to the argument presented in the paper we read for that week. I expect you to achieve two goals with your response papers: summary of the argument, and insightful comments on the argument. Use what you learned with reading summaries to initially summarize that week’s assigned reading first. Then, provide your critical take on the paper.
for instance, if an author argued that ” ethnic diversity leads to smaller economic redistribution,” you could push back and say something like “the author only considers ethnic diversity. I wonder if the same effects happen with religious diversity. if no, why is ethnic diversity so different than religious diversity?
