Essay Writing Assignment:
Task:
In no more than 800 words (not including references) write an outline for a critical essay providing an analysis of a case study on drugs. Provide a full reference list and FULLY WRITE OUT (don’t just outline!) your INTRODUCTION section (only!). This will ensure that you receive feedback on both your writing style as well as the thematic organisation of your ideas.
Choose your case study from the following options:
• Option 1: Dwyer, R. 2011. ‘Chapter 1: The social life of smokes: Processes of exchange in a heroin marketplace’ in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
• Option 2: Race, K. 2011. ‘Chapter 2: Party animals: The significance of drug practices in the materialisation of urban gay identity’ in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
• Option 3: Boyd, S. 2011. ‘Pleasure and pain: Representations of illegal drug consumption, addiction and trafficking in music, film and video’ in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
• Option 4: Any chapter from Marc Lewis. 2011. Memoirs of an Addicted Brain: A Neuroscientist Examines His Former Life on Drugs. PublicAffairs.
Use the following questions to guide you in writing your essay outline.
• What issues are raised by your case study?
• How do they relate to topics covered in class and weekly readings so far? (Obviously, you’ll be able to include more theories / readings in your essay than you will in your outline, since we will have covered more material by then.)
• What are the complex social processes and relations that surround the production and consumption of drugs? Structure and writing styles are as important as content when writing an essay. Two weeks before the essay outline is due your convener will hold an essay-writing workshop during lectures.
