General Guidelines for this Public Paper. This should be a brief paper (6-8 pages) that targets an issue or topic of interest for a public audience and draws upon your emerging expertise as an anthropologist, behavioral scientist, or broader social scientist. Possible examples include an essay, review of an important resource, review of a public talk, letter to a public official, etc. You are encouraged to select a topic that is also assigned in one of your other upper-division courses, so that you can address discipline-specific subject matter. If so, you must secure written approval from that instructor, with the understanding that this assignment will focus on writing skills and your other assignment will focus on content matters. Your paper may be divided into sections, depending on length, and formatted as illustrated if you decide to do so. Note About the Paper in General. Papers must be submitted in proper academic format for the field of anthropology as summarized in the AAA Style Guide and as exemplified in this template. Major elements include the title page, margins (1" on all sides), font size (12 point), and page numbers (centered, bottom, inside the 1" margin). You are strongly advised to use an electronic version of this template to prepare your own paper (although it is not required), since it is already properly formatted (including section headings). If you do so, delete the sample/explanatory text that is highlighted in yellow and enter your own text. Be aware that the default settings in Microsoft Word and other writing programs are often different than the requirements for this academic paper and sometimes distort some formatting items (such as justified margins and spacing between sections), so you'll need to make sure your paper conforms to the editorial standards that are exemplified in this template. 2
