Description
Research review essays are not ordinary book reviews. Research review essays have three components, including a review component, a research component, and a reflective component (the ‘three Rs’). The idea is to mix an overview of the book’s content (the review component); to situate the book amongst other readings in the course (the research component); and to assess the book in light of your own prior knowledge and experience (the reflective component).
Another way of putting it is like this: Your research review essay is about the book (the review part), about cosmopolitan thinking and its implications for social policy and social development (the research part), and about you (the reflective part).
What should be included in the REVIEW component?
- What kind of book is your monograph?
- What is the professional or disciplinary background of the person who wrote your monograph?
- What is the book about? What is the author’s purpose?
- What is/are the major claims/arguments/conclusions?
- What is the sequence of events or arguments or themes?
- What are the book’s strengths and/or weaknesses?
What should be included in the RESEARCH component?
Substantively, this is the most important component of your paper. In this course, we have read work reflecting a number of different perspectives, including, for example, the liberal cosmopolitanism of Martha Nussbaum and Susan Moller Okin, the ethical cosmopolitanism of Peter Singer, and the cultural cosmopolitanism of K. Anthony Appiah. It is neither necessary nor advisable to look beyond the readings in our course to satisfy the research component of your research review essay.
From a cosmopolitan perspective, how does your book relate to other books we have read in this course? I would expect to see some substantive remarks in at least three of the following thematic areas from our course, based on a clearly defined and elaborated conception of cosmopolitanism grounded in our course readings and materials:
- cosmopolitanism and liberal democratic ideals;
- nationalism and patriotism from a cosmopolitan perspective;
- race and gender from a cosmopolitan perspective;
- multiculturalism and decolonization from a cosmopolitan perspective;
- education and social development from a cosmopolitan perspective; and
- their own philosophical and ideological perspectives.
What should be included in the REFLECTIVE component?
Research review essays should include an account of the book’s implications for cosmopolitan thinking in general and for social policy and/or social development in particular. What does this mean? Well, having combined an overview and assessment of the book’s content with some contextual research based on other materials we have read in this course, you should conclude with some thoughts on what the book has contributed to your understanding of cosmopolitanism and social development. Your research review essay is about the book, of course, but it’s also about you as a citizen of the world.
Some of the books and materials in this course are artifacts that include and in most cases critique terminology that would be disrespectful or offensive if employed today. Be sure to distance yourself from the terminology used by people in the past, either by avoiding such terms altogether or substituting respectful, inclusive and appropriate language. Always speak in your own voice, using your own words and terminology. Remember, it’s 2020. If an anachronistic and offensive term appears in a quote, please substitute a respectful term in square brackets.
In this assignment, it is particularly important to use inclusive, respectful language in keeping with the cosmopolitan ideals we have been exploring this term. You should be able demonstrate your understanding of the elements of cosmopolitan thinking both by what you write about and how you write about it.
