Additionally, you explain why the issues you have identified are important to investigate.

· Select an identity group from the list above. You will work with this group and its issues and context in a country other than where you reside.

·  Using the

· Include in-depth discussion of two or three important events, historical and contemporary, along with circumstances that shaped this history.

· Analyze any social policies or institutional discrimination that have emerged in that country and led to acts of prejudice, discrimination, and assimilation.
