This is a URAP (Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Project) at UC Berkeley. The goal is for students to complete literature reviews on topics related to political economy and economic anthropology in order to expand the Wikipedia article, "Community-based economics". Or, they may pick to add to another related Wikipedia article. Students will be supported in picking and honing their topic and in completing the scholarly research for it.
