An original research paper on Decolonizing Diets. The written length should be no more than 8 pages plus your bibliography. Please make sure that the focus is not broad. It has to be SPECIFIC! Sources should be 6-7 total. All these sources should be credible sources. In-text citations are a must! Proposed focus I have is Native American diets. Focus on one specific area of Native American, like Northern Native American diets. How their diets where colonized, the effects of the colonization of their diets (e.g. health, culture, etc.), and how they are decolonizing their diets and the benefits of it. Name tribes, be specific, tie it into anthropology, that is what the class is about. Talk about policies of the colonizers, and how the colonizers really colonized with not giving them access to food sources. Then tie in the end about how they are decolonizing and the benefits of it, health wise, and culture and community. This is an idea for you to work with, just remember, specific and NO broad ideas. Need a specific, well-articulated RESEARCH ESSAY. And how decolonizing diets will change things. A very good thesis is key. I will later upload a lecture slide we had on this. Below are readings assigned in the class for decolonizing diets. Please read them and use some of them in this essay. Also, use outside sources as well to get specific.
