This is an individual assignment.

Write down a first formulation of the research question for your research proposal.

Drawing on Desmond (2014), briefly discuss what relations, processes, or constellations of actors your question promises to illuminate.

Explain your choice of research question. What piques your curiosity about this topic? What do you hope to discover or contribute? This will likely require referencing additional literature in order to position the question within a wider issue or debate or to provide necessary context for it.

You may want to additionally consult Bryman, chs. 2–3, as you prepare this assignment.

The approximate length of this assignment is 500 words, but you may write more if need be. Please submit this assignment to the discussion thread on Brightspace.
