• Essay: Pairing - In this exercise, write a short essay (1200 words max) in which you pair two academic concepts from a list that closely relate to your interests and the type of research that you envision yourself engaging in as a doctoral student. Your task is to define the concepts as you understand them. Then explain why you’ve paired the concepts together, as well as what type of research questions their pairing allows you to pursue. If possible, describe a real world example for your essay.
