Each student, in consultation with the instructor, will choose a musical repertoire or genre (in which I have chosen Alternative Rock) and write a background paper. How does the repertoire you have chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity? Bear in mind that while lyrics and performance are important, you must address musical issues as well by providing a listening guide. Cite 3-4 scholarly articles using MLA style formatting as your resources for the background paper. Papers should be 5 pages long, double-spaced.
This is what I submitted early on for a brief outline:
In this research paper I will be covering how alternative rock affects peoples lives with race, class, gender, sexuality, and cultural things.
note * I also had to submit some sources I was using to get information early on for. The sources I used are:
