1. Research a community impacted by war and write a 2.5 pages of essay that considers the ways that mass violence has impacted the culture of that community and/or the way that community’s culture has shaped its war history. You are not expected to provide definitive answers about how war might have impacted gender identity or the body/health of the population for example, but you can draw on readings about gender or medical anthropology to consider the types of questions that might be important to consider in the community you are researching. The goal is to demonstrate that you can think anthropologically about the sociocultural impacts of war for the community you research. Keep in mind that both “community” and “culture” are open-ended terms; how you define them will be part of the challenge of the project.
2. Write a detailed outline of the essay, including articles and sources
3. include citation
