Thematic Approach urban history semi research paper ( Lgbtq community in NYC)

You’ll note that all of these topics are rather broad, intentionally so. You’ll want to narrow the topic, first in chronological terms. That is, if for example you are going to discuss New York City, you do not want to discuss it from 1650 to the present, but rather during a more limited period of time. You would also probably focus more on certain aspects of the city’s history. Project Format This final project can take two basic forums: 1) A 4-6 page, double-spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman Font paper; 2) A non-paper project in another form/medium which still at a minimum includes a bibliography of sources. Citations Historians use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) citation method, but for this paper you can use either CMOS or MLA, whichever is easier for you. Purdue Owl remains one of the best online resources for citation matters. The introductory page for CMOS is at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/chicago_manual_17th_edition/chicago_style_introduction.html and for MLA is at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html so please use those web pages as your primary guidance for citation. The paper must also include a bibliography. It doesn’t need to be annotated, just list the sources cited in your research according to CMOS or MLA format (I will upload more info on that to Blackboard later). Remember to arrange entries alphabetically by authors’ last names. I will be looking for proper citations but not obsessing over perfection, and I’m happy to take a look at initial work to see if you are on track
