Final Paper for MDP 507 Statistical Application
By 11:59 p.m. on May 14, you must submit your work.
You will create a report for MDP 507 that synthesizes the theoretical frameworks we’ve been looking at (including Mosse and Burawoy) and applies this style of analysis to your summer practicum placement.
Urban Agriculture in Georgia and Its Impact on Food Quality and Sufficiency is your practicum topic of concentration. Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture (TLW), southwest Atlanta, Georgia, is your practicum group.
You will write a 12 to 15-page (rather than 20!) double-spaced paper (not counting the bibliography) for the Fieldwork Context Analysis that identifies the discourses, actors, and intended beneficiaries you will encounter this summer. To flesh out a knowledge of the operational logics of each scale of development activity, you will use the sources you indicated in your abstract, as well as others you have discovered since then. Your paper should have at least 12 citations*** but can be organized in whatever way you want.
We’ve gone over three different levels of development activity:
1. The size of talk vs. policy.
2. The size of the implementing agencies.
3. The number of people who will benefit.
It’s critical not to mix together these scales:
Each scale has its own set of rules.
These logics are frequently at odds with one another.
Each scale’s logic is influenced by how it interacts with the others.
For each of the three tiers of development activity indicated above, your paper should rely on a variety of sources from either the academic/scholarly world or the development world, focusing on the project that you will join this summer. Make sure you have a mix of both types of information rather than relying on just one.
You should seek for resources that will assist you in comprehending the various logics of each of the three scales. For example, Mamdani explains the logic that underpins people in northern India’s decisions about family size; the Dao interpretation explains the logic of the intermediate scale in relation to Africa’s New Green Revolution; and the Ferguson reading explains the logic of the discursive scale.
A discussion of what these sources reveal regarding the operation of all three scales of activity should be included in your work. The scale of the intended beneficiaries will most likely be the most difficult to rebuild. If you can’t find sources on the precise group of beneficiaries with whom you’ll be working, look for information on the region in which you’ll be working. Because the organization you’ll be dealing with has already produced descriptions of what it’s doing and why, the policy/discourse scale will probably be the easiest to reconstruct. You should make as much progress as possible in identifying the various partners who have joined forces at the intermediate scale. It’s likely that reading for competing narratives or discrepancies will be beneficial to you.
***You should include the six-resource annotations at the conclusion of your final paper because you did not finish your Fieldwork Context Analysis Abstract, which contained an Annotated Bibliography section. The 1-page description that would have been in the abstract is not required.***
Remember that you’re conducting research to help you answer a variety of questions, including the following:
(1) Why are the project’s intended beneficiaries in such a precarious position to begin with? To put it another way, what is the root of their poverty, illness, lack of opportunity, and so on?
(2) Is the issue that your group is attempting to address one that the target beneficiaries consider to be significant? To put it another way, who believes this is an issue and who doesn’t?
(3) To what extent does your organization’s chosen problem and solution include buzzwords like “empowerment,” “participation,” “community,” “market,” and so on, which have no tangible meaning? As we’ve seen, phrases like this enable organizations on the intermediate scale to collaborate under a single umbrella term while pursuing agendas that have little to do with the claims made in discourse.
(4) How does your organization plan to solve the problem that has been chosen as the intervention’s focal point?
(5) When it comes to development, did your project take into account what was already in place? Do project workers, in other words, comprehend the types of life patterns and forms of adaptation to which individuals are already strongly committed? Or does the project consider the context in which it wants to intervene as a place where there are gaps to be filled? And, if that’s the case, what exactly are these gaps? What are the chances that the endeavor to repair the gaps will interact with current cultural patterns, resulting in unanticipated project outcomes?
The idea is for you to conduct an Extended Case Method analysis of the project you’ll be working on this summer, as these questions imply. Before coming to the field, you do not need to know the answers to all of the above questions. These types of inquiries, on the other hand, are likely to assist you distinguish between should and is when it comes to planning and working on your tasks over the summer.
Some research resources to consider.
