Socio-Political Biography Assignment
For this assignment, you will be required to prepare and submit a socio-political biography.
The socio-political biography is an account of an individual’s life, contextualized in the historical events
and the social, political, and economic issues of their times, and discussing what kinds of social
change strategies might have made a difference in their experience.
The assignment will be conducted in multiple steps:
● Biography Subject: You have already been assigned a classmate as your biography
subject/partner. You should also have received an email from your partner listing the issues
that they have identified as significant to understanding their lives, along with some related
peer-reviewed, social science articles.
● Interview Preparation: Using this background research as a guide to your conversation, you
should prepare for an interview with your biography partner. In addition to reading the articles
mentioned above, you can
a. Look for additional articles/books on the issues, and
b. Prepare a set of questions that you will use to interview your biography subject.
● Interview: You will conduct an interview of your subject. This interview constitutes the core of
your biography – you will draw on what you learn from this interview as you write. It is important
that you get the big picture of the person’s life story right, as well as any significant details. If
possible, please record the interview. This recording should be transcribed and submitted
along with your final paper. If recording is impossible, please take detailed notes.

You will be given time in class to conduct your interviews (April 12, 17), but you are free
to schedule additional interview time.
● Follow-up research: Using the information you collected during the interview(s), go back to
the library and find additional scholarly sources that help you explain this person’s life in terms
of public issues and social structures. You should also take this time to look for examples of
social change efforts (philanthropies, political officials, court cases, social movements, etc.) that
made, or could have made, a difference in this person’s life. You are welcome to use some of
the cases that were presented by the group projects in this course.
QUIZ #18 Update Sources (DUE: April 17): For Quiz #18, you are required to submit an
updated list of sources that expands on the original list your partner gave you. This new list

Due Date: May 6
Length: 3-5 pages + transcript/notes of interview
should reflect the information that you collected during your interview.
● Write: Using the notes from your interview, your background research, as well as any further
research that may be necessary, you will write a 3-5 page biography of your subject, that
situates the facts and events of their lives in the context of relevant social and historical issues.
The format you choose may vary. You can choose to write about one major incident in that
person’s life, or tell a broader story that covers the arc of their life. Either way, you want to
present both the specific life experiences of an individual as well as the public issues that
shaped and explain these experiences.
● May 6, before 11:59 pm: Submit the final draft of Political Biography through Brightspace.
Length should be 3-5 pages. Please use 12-point font, double space, standard margins,
adhering to APA formatting guidelines and do not exceed the page requirement. Sources
beyond the interview data you collect and any lecture material should be cited using APA
format.
Guidelines for Conducting Ethnographic Interviews
● Identify yourself and thank the interviewee for being willing to participate.
● Prior to starting the interview, explain the purpose of the interview and what you will be asking
them about.
● Inform them approximately how long the interview is likely to take.
● Ask the participant if they have any questions about the interview process.
● Encourage the interviewee to relax and feel comfortable. One way to put the interviewee at
ease is to let them know there are no right or wrong answers and that you are interested in
their experiences and perceptions.
● Let them know that if they feel uncomfortable at any time, to let you know. If a specific question
makes them uncomfortable, assure them they do not have to respond to it.
● Ask open-ended, unbiased questions. Avoid making comments that could be perceived
as critical, judgmental or culturally insensitive.
● Show a sincere interest in what your interviewee is saying. Ask a follow up question if you do
not fully understand what they meant by what they are saying. Repeat back to them to be sure
you understand.
● Try not to interrupt them while they are speaking.
● Ask them if there is information they would like to share that you have not asked them about.
Ask them if they would like to add anything else after each question.
● Check in with them throughout the interview to be sure they are feeling comfortable.
● At the close of the interview, ask them if they have any questions for you about the interview
process.
● Thank them again for participating.
Due Date: May 6
Length: 3-5 pages + transcript/notes of interview
Examples
If you’re looking for examples of how to write a socio-political biography, I have listed below some
well-known examples. Some of the include famous politicians, where the “political” aspect of the work
is obvious, but others were written by people in other walks of life. These are all written as long-form
memoires or book-length biographies, and I’m not expecting you to write anything so long, but they
can give you a sense of how to write in a way that weaves individual experience with social and
historical change.

The Research Paper

After crafting an annotated bibliography of sources, you are ready to write your researched argumentative essay. Your essay should offer a brief outline of your topic, clearly present your argument on the topic, and carefully utilize secondary sources to support your argument. While writing your essay, imagine that the intended audience is your fellow classmates. Therefore, you should express your ideas and your opinions in such a way that is accessible yet formal enough to be appropriate for a college classroom.A successful research paper will achieve the following:Have an interesting and thought-provoking titlePresent a clear thesis statement that details your opinion on the research topic and provides your “road map” of evidenceGive a concise (less than two paragraphs) overview of the arguments and/or any socio-historical context necessary to understanding your research topicIncorporate academic sources that support your argumentShow intentional organization skills in the arrangements of your main points of evidenceEmploy logic and rhetoric to persuade your audienceDemonstrate an awareness of the rhetorical context surrounding your topicInclude proper MLA in-text citation and a works cited pageYour research paper should follow strict MLA citation and formatting style and should be 6-8 full pages in length. Your works cited page should include a minimum of 6 sources. You may choose to include all or some of the sources you located in your annotated bibliography. In addition, you should remember that your works cited page does NOT count towards your minimum page requirement. The purpose of this component of your project is to allow you to demonstrate your ability to conduct academic research and support your opinions with evidence and reasoning.

Intangible heritage of the ENGLISH Way of Santiago

Please examine studies of the English Way of Santiago, particularly how this pilgrimage has affected the local’s sense of religious and cultural identity. Articles in scholarly journals, books, and other publications are some of the best places to seek knowledge on the topic. Please summarize previous studies of the English version of the Camino de Santiago and then discuss their relevance to the local community.  For example, Rebecca (2020) delves into the modern pilgrimage experience on the English Way of Santiago, investigating everything from the pilgrim’s motivations to the route’s effect on the locals.  Foley (2020) adds to the body of knowledge by stating that the route has been crucial in developing a shared cultural identity in the region.
