I am seeking an experienced researcher with a strong background in anthropology to assist with the 3500-word literature review section of my master’s thesis. This task will involve conducting thorough literature research and writing a comprehensive review to support the theoretical framework of the project.
Scope of Work:
Literature Review Research:
Survey and synthesize academic sources (books, peer-reviewed articles, etc.) on topics including:
Digital cultures, emotional attachments to virtual characters, and AI agency.
Anthropological perspectives on kinship, personhood, and technology.
Comparative East Asian contexts (optional but preferred).
Writing & Structure:
Write a 3,500-word literature review that helps establish the theoretical framework for the research.
Organize the literature review thematically, identifying key debates, trends, and gaps in the literature.
Ensure the review maintains clarity, coherence, and academic rigor throughout.
Citations & Formatting:
Strict adherence to Harvard referencing style (in-text citations + full reference list).
All claims must be supported by credible academic sources.
Requirements:
Advanced degree (MA/PhD) in Anthropology, Sociology, or related fields.
Familiarity with digital cultures and/or East Asian societies is a plus.
Proven experience in writing academic literature reviews with correct citation practices.
Access to academic databases (JSTOR, AnthroSource, etc.) and scholarly resources.
Strong English academic writing skills.
If you meet these qualifications and are interested in the project, please contact me with your relevant experience and any writing samples or academic work that demonstrate your ability to complete this task. Thank you!
Note: I will share my detailed research proposal with the selected candidate to ensure alignment. The review must be original, well-researched, and tailored to support anthropological research. |
