Credibility. What is it? How do you prove that an article, book, website, news website is credible?

Well I have an acronym for that CRAAP.

Follow this method by answering the questions to find out if your source is credible. After you determine that, you can use it in a paper.

For this discussion, you will rank the three websites in order of credibility to least credible.

This assignment asks you to apply theory, not summarize it. You will again use Southern Queeroscopic Interactionism (SQIT) to analyze a scenario and demonstrate that you understand how theory:

• Shapes what we see
• Defines what counts as evidence
• Connects structure and lived experience
• Functions as both explanation and research orientation

Though multiple people have been assigned varying components of the theory, you are not working in groups, only sharing a concept. This is individual work.

Me – Interactional Resistance + Counter-Symbolic Practices

Scenario:

A Black queer college student at a Southern HBCU avoids LGBTQ campus events but regularly uses coded language, fashion choices, and humor among trusted peers to signal identity. They maintain a respectable public persona in classrooms but curate a different digital identity online.

Assignment

Part I Conceptual Grounding

1. Explain your assigned SQIT concepts in your own words.
2. What theoretical gap or problem are these concepts responding to?
3. How does Johnson position SQIT as botha theory anda methodology?

Part II Application to Your Scenario

Using your assigned theoretical lens:

1. What is happening at the structural level? In your structural analysis, consider institutions, policy, regional norms, historical context, and broader systems of power.
2. What is happening at the interactional level? In your interactional analysis, consider dynamics such as identity negotiation, visibility and invisibility, symbolic resistance, and everyday navigation.
3. What does SQIT help you see that mainstream or urban-centered queer theory might miss?
4. If you were conducting research on this case, what kinds of data would you prioritize and why?
5. Explain how your theory determines what counts as evidence.

Overall, your response should be no less than 1 full (double spaced page) with proper APA citations where necessary. It is also important for to remember that this is an analytical exercise, so I offer this guidance:

Do:

• Use theory actively
• Connect macro and micro analysis
• Be specific about region and power
• Show methodological you thinking

Do not:

• Summarize SQIT
• Treat the scenario as fictional storytelling
• Default to general statements like society is oppressive

Project Guidelines and Rubric

Competencies

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

• Explain how cultural and social diversity can affect the interpretation of historical knowledge
• Evaluate the construction of a historical narrative
• Analyze a source using a historical perspective

Overview

Your local community has decided to build a statue to commemorate an event. As part of this effort, a time capsule will be included, the contents of which will be opened in 50 years. You have been asked, as the community expert on the historical event related to this statue, to create a document that will be included as part of the time capsule that includes information about the event being commemorated. The people opening this time capsule in 50 years will then be able to reflect on your insight into the event as you have described it.

During this course, you have examined various articles and videos that shine a light on diverse historical narratives and constructions of race, gender, class, disability, citizenship, and sexuality. As a result, you have honed your critical thinking skills by taking note of information that minimizes or negates the histories and bodies of knowledge of people of color, Indigenous peoples, women, working-class people, persons with disabilities, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people. You have become more adept at determining the credibility of different sources, and you can readily identify bias in historical accounts. Through your own reflections on the problem of social inequality as mirrored in the readings in this course, you can draw connections to your own lived experience. By virtue of your critical insights, you can use your own voice and knowledge to broaden a historical narrative and empower underrepresented populations.

Directions

As a culmination of your work in this course, you will write a paper on one of the topics in the list below or a topic of your choice with prior approval from your instructor. The purpose of your paper will be to focus on a voice or perspective that has previously been overlooked or minimized. To support your topic, you should use three or more sources from the Shapiro Library. Of those sources, at least one must be a primary source. In your paper, you will address three components in relation to your topic: historical context and background, deconstruction of the dominant narrative, and reflection based on your own lived experience.

The project consists of multiple draft assignments leading up to a final document. You will complete the following assignments:

• Module Two Topic Proposal: You will revise your work on this proposal to form Part One (Introduction) of your project.
• Module Three Collection of Sources: This assignment will inform multiple parts of your evaluation of sources for the project.
• Module Four Discussion: This assignment will provide a summary of your chosen project topic.
• Module Five Project Draft: You will revise your work on this draft to form Part Two (Background of the Topic) and Part Three (Deconstructing the Historical Narrative) of the project.
• Module Six Discussion: You will describe your personal experience with your chosen topic.
• Module Seven Project: You will submit your revised Parts One through Three along with Part Four (Changing the Narrative of History).

You will use the Project Template linked in the Supporting Materials section below to complete all drafts and the final document.

Specifically, you must address the following:

16. How has the narrative around your topic changed as new information has been discovered?

Part Three: Deconstructing the Historical Narrative

In Part Three, you will actively deconstruct the historical narrative concerning your topic and determine the overall validity of the narrative. Your objective here is to write a new narrative that provides a more holistic, inclusive version of history.

1. Credibility: Determine the credibility of the sources you selected for your chosen topic. You should address each of the following questions:
2. How do you determine credibility for the sources you chose?
3. Does it vary from source to source?
4. Bias: Describe potential bias in your selected sources for your chosen topic. You should address the following question:
