This week, please use the discussion board to reflect on the process of working on this literature review.

• When you started working on this project, what were 1-2 things you hoped to learn?
• Name something that you learned through the annotated bibliography research. This could be something that affirmed/gave evidence to something you thought you knew AND/OR something that surprised you AND/OR something that gives you a different way to think about your topic.

This week, please use the discussion board to respond to the different texts by answering the following questions:

• This week, there are no specific questions for you to respond to– instead, please reflect on what you learned from the materials this week about the role of the legal system in the lives of survivors,  what questions they raise for you, and any other feelings/comments/ ideas that the materials sparked.

Post and Comment on Discussion Board #7

• Post due Thursday 10/15
• Comment due Sunday 10/18

This week, please use the discussion board to respond to the different texts by answering the following questions:

• What do Vera-Gray and Kelly  say about “public space” as “gendered space”– what do they mean? What can  you add to their discussion from your own observations and experiences of public space?
• What do the authors mean by “safety work?” What examples do they offer? Do you have other examples to add?
• How do you think the praxis models engage in “safety work,” if at all? What other “work” do these interventions do?
• Do any of these models give you ideas for your own project- and especially about the use of websites, videos, journalistic essays?

• Comment due Sunday 10/11

For this week’s post, please analyze the two sample literature reviews you read. For each literature review, answer the following questions (same as above):

• What is the thesis, research question, or problem that the literature review addresses? (What is the purpose of the literature review?)  Be specific- quote the article.
• What do the authors do? What type of literature do they review? Do they review literature in a particular field or discipline?
• What does the literature review find? You may want to look at how it is organized (e.g. headings) to analyze the different themes or areas of information that the review contains.
• What are the gaps or next steps, according to the author?
