Reworking your weekly assignments, write a (fictive) research proposal that contains the following:

  • An introducing containing a problem statement, research question, and a discussion of the proposal’s scientific and broader social relevance.
  • A discussion of the key concepts employed in the proposal and how they are measured. (In this context you should briefly review some related literature.)
  • A discussion of the methodological approach, including a detailed plan for approaching the field, attaining a fair sample, collecting data, as well as a reflection on the practical and ethical issues you anticipate.
  • A brief discussion of preliminary findings (from weekly assignments).
  • A concluding argument why you think your research should be supported. Pay particular attention to what you think is innovative about your approach.

The research proposal should be approximately 1,600 words in length. Please submit via Brightspace.
