Topic: Race and Ethnicity
Each reading memo must address the following items:
1. needs to summarize all the readings for the selected day
2. discuss the relation of the readings to social stratification
3. discuss whether or not you agree with the readings
4. discuss the policy implications that the readings lend themselves to (if there are none then discuss why there are not any relevant policy implications related to the readings)
5. proposes at least two open questions for research driven by the readings and your interests in the readings.
The goal is really a few paragraphs that consider the readings and raise some interesting questions.
