This is the draft of my final project, and the target audience is members of academia and specifically members of the history community. The current curriculum of historical education is still quite limited and confined very much to the modern nation state. Even when teaching about foreign countries and cultures, many western textbooks will refer to history in Africa, Asia or even Oceania as their national histories, when the modern form of nationhood is very much Eurocentric. I hope that my work will allow individuals interested in bettering historical education to understand the urgent need to diversify the curriculum.

Research Project Draft-Caitlin
This is my final project draft. My audience is college age men that struggle with mental illness because it is a very big issue that still has a stigma attached to it. I thought that the best way to reach my audience was to make an infographic that could potentially be email to the student population of Syracuse because that would ensure that a great number of the proper demographic would see the information. I still need to add my citations for my final submission, but this is what I have so far!

I attached my rough draft/brainstorm sheet for my infographic! I have found a lot of sources and took some notes but I need to organize it and pick out the most important pieces. I created my own template on canva and I made a tentative title. I am nervous all my information will not fit. Let me know what you think! 🙂
Research Project Draft
Here’s a link to the blog I created. The content to review is on the Home/Welcome page, Blog page, and Essential Reading page, which includes all of my references. I look forward to getting everyone’s feedback.
As I researched AI in HR this summer, I realized that there isn’t an online resource center dedicated to collecting and sharing information about this issue. I saw an opportunity to create a blog that could eventually grow to become the trusted resource for the community interested in this topic. My target audience includes people concerned with protecting worker and civil rights, including the workers themselves, but more specifically individuals who have some authority to make change, such as disability rights activists, social justice activists, legislators, scholars, journalists, and people working in employment law. My audience also includes business and human resource leaders, developers of AI for HR technologies, and others interested in improving their products and practices.
I realize that the long-term scope of this project is huge, so my goal was to set up a flexible framework for the blog and write a couple of posts to welcome readers and introduce some of the more pressing issues, especially those related to bias and discrimination. Depending on how much revising I need to do by next week, I may also add a sample advocacy letter in that section of the site.
I know it will require lots of effort to draw traffic to a new blog, but I can imagine ways to do that by writing posts on other sites and referencing my blog, using social media, and inviting contributing writers who have many followers. Because different stakeholders have different goals, I will strive to invite contributions from different points of view. Ideally, the blog would grow to become a vibrant forum for the exchange of information and discussion of issues leading to more transparency, more accountability, and real change.
Taking It Public Draft-Ed-Invisible Disabilities
This is a draft of my project which is a memo written to advisors of individuals with invisible disabilities. I envision this as offering advise to professionals who work with individuals with disabilities. For example, Syracuse University has individuals assigned to work with people that have disabilities to help their transition to the University as well as work with them on whatever adjustments are needed.
Let me know what you think.
Research Project Draft – Sherri
I am writing an article for business leaders who understand that they should have a solid diversity policy in place but don’t realize that those policies might miss the mark when it comes to their Black employees. These leaders might not know much about the history or current state of Black labor in the U.S. and may view D&I as just making sure there are a variety of different ethnicities at their company. They haven’t really thought much about inclusion and equity. I envision readers will be checking out their online subscription to a business magazine that regularly offers insight into employee matters.
Project Draft- Intersectionality and Bias
My Project Draft is not in a poster layout just yet. This is because I wanted to focus on my writing first and plan that out before focusing on graphics and visuals. However, when both are incorporated, I think the message will be even more compelling.
As noted before, my poster’s audience is students our age, who are usually pretty busy but find themselves passing the time in a hallway or elevator and can read and retain information. I believe our generation is crucial for who needs to learn about this topic and spread it. As a result, I may find myself cutting down some information when I lay out my poster since information should be briefer to be intrigued. That has been my struggle, but I am eager to get started on the final project and attempt to incorporate effective visuals and effective writing.
Draft- Julia
This article attempts to inform the reader about a few factors that play into female underrepresentation in STEM. Although it does not cover everything, it attempts to show that many factors are just simply out of our control. Some factors are still within our ability to control. It is important to focus on what we can change in life so that we can grow.
My intended audience for the article is college students who are about to enter the workforce. It would probably be found in a school newspaper, where readers enjoy reading about various subjects that may impact them. I think that it is beneficial to target a specific audience because it makes that segment population interested, and feel like they matter. No one wants to read an article if they are not directly addressed, especially if it does not impact them. In a few years, college students will be entering into the workforce which is why it will be important for them to understand that promoting diversity and equal representation is crucial.
The article takes on a popular article format because I believe it is easier for readers to understand the main point. It conveys a clear and concise message, unlike a scholarly article. I also like how it takes on a little more of a conversational tone, but still has a slight sense of formality within it.
Thanks for reading my project. I look forward to reading any comments or suggestions!

This is the link to the kahoot I created.
These are the sources that I used.
I like this method because it allows the audience to be to able to contribute to the discussion. The only portion that is timed is where the audience would pick their answers but afterwards they can take all the time they need asking questions or taking notes on the slide that follows. I was able to include slides which further explain the answers to avoid confusion.
