Culminating Philosophy Project
The culminating project of Philosophy requires you to: (1) research, present, and connect a popular cultural artifact, with a philosophical idea, construct, or theological concept (2) produce an annotated bibliography; and (3) present a live or recorded multimedia talk about your topic. (4) Be sure your presentation focuses more on PHILOSOPHY and how it shows up in pop culture and NOT simply the analysis of popular culture.
Pick a topic that both interests you and allows you to meet the research source requirements discussed below.
Be sure that your project meaningfully and seamlessly integrate sources, all in support of your original thesis. This is your opportunity to showcase all that you have learned this in philosophy this semester
