For five of the eight weeks, you will write a 1-page translation paper of one of the academic readings for that week (not the popular-press reading). Imagine that you have to take the content of that article and explain it in such a way that an undergraduate student or new employee would understand (define and explain any jargon or difficult concepts in more simple terms).
Things to consider in your explanation: main points of the reading, examples (real or hypothetical) of how you might see the concepts presented in the paper in real life, how does this reading connect with other course concepts that we’ve discussed?
