Description
Your research proposal should be the guide/plan for
your final research paper. The more detailed it is, the
better your paper will be. The proposal must ask a
unique sociological question which can be addressed
using empirical evidence. The project should be
limited in scope such that it is possible to answer the
question during the time available in the semester. The
proposal should contain:
1. A research question (this is a question that
cannot be definitively answered but can be
researched and on which a position can be
formed and supported with scholarly research
2. A hypothesis stating what you expect to find
3. A very brief literature review (2 paragraphs is
enough) with at least 4 sources to demonstrate
that you’ve started looking at the appropriate
literature
4. A statement of method that describes what
type of empirical data will be gathered and how
you will analyze it
5. In-text citations and a references page formatted
using an appropriate academic style
