ENV/PHL 334 - Environmental Justice: Home

Purpose of this Guide

This guide will help you research your recycling paper. Your professor would like you to use scholarly sources to support your conclusions. Here are some of Dr. Condella's research requirements from the assignment description:

Research papers should:

  1. Be as up-to-date as possible. Historical context might well be relevant and can certainly be included – in fact, it might end up being the main focus of the paper. But there should be some consideration of where we are now, especially when it comes to ways forward.
  2. Involve independent research of texts or journal articles not covered in the course. Course readings and news articles can be used, but additional scholarly sources – i.e., academic texts and peer-reviewed articles in academic journals accessible though Salve University’s McKillop Library website (http://library.salve.edu/) – should also be consulted.
  3. Detail the problems, issues, and various interest groups involved.
  4. Offers a solution or way forward that is mindful of the concerns of environmental justice. 
  5. You will be held accountable for grammar and spelling errors and are expected to conform to MLA, APA, or Chicago Style guidelines (whichever you are more comfortable with is fine).  This includes proper citation and a listing of works cited.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Clarity of thought, organization, and manner of argumentation.
  • Number and quality of the sources used, and the way in which they are incorporated into the paper.
  • Grammar, spelling, proper formatting, citation method, and timeliness.
