Integrative Paper Proposal

The proposal should be a 2-4 page document (excluding the title page) that lays the foundation for your Integrative Paper Presentation (the major product of the Seminar). In essence the proposal states why the topic is important and how you will go about discussing the topic. The proposal, when done well, might serve as a whole or in a revised form as the introduction to the integrative paper (hence time spent here will serve you very well later). The proposal should include: Statement of the issue to be discussed (definition, description); Brief discussion of the significance of the issue (why does this matter?); Brief discussion of the context or setting in which this issue exists (Who? Where? How? When?);
