Lily Kronfeld's Project

Are internships a mechanism for inequality? My topic is to research the exploitative nature of internships.

The major unresolved question i will be adressing is how to evaluate and determine whether unpaid internships are deemed legal or illegal.

What is known and what is unknown is respect to this unresolved question? What is generally accepted as fact or truth about this question and what is not within the scholarship?
While some internships are mutually beneficial for both the company and intern, many are not. There is especially must discrepancy toward lower income students. What is unknown is how to diminish the exploitative nature of internships or a method to evaluate their legitimacy.

What are the major scholars in the field and what disagreement amongst them am I trying to hep resolve?
Whether or not unpaid internships should even exist.

What is the narrowest description of my individual research question?
Are unpaid internships exploitative?

What is the data I plan on gathering and how will it help resolve a scholarly unknown?
I plan to gather data from both my peers and the Emory career center to collect data on their experience and expertise to propose a new way to evaluate internships.
