As you decided today in class, you'll be turning in research proposals to me by this Weds. (let's say 5pm) instead of meeting for class that day. In your proposal, please describe the specific question you plan to address and the larger issue you will gesture toward in answering that question. You can also describe why you're thinking about this topic or if you'd like some help from me in guiding you on that topic. The proposal should also include a research plan-of-attack--for instance, which databases you plan to use, what kinds of search terms, call numbers that deal with your subject, websites that describe your subject, etc. You can make this as detailed as you'd like. It will be "graded" on a check-basis, but the more detailed your proposal is, the more relevant and specific my feedback to you can be. Your research proposal should be addressed and emailed to me and I will respond to it sometime this weekend. Let me know if you have questions about the proposal.

Details on other upcoming assignments are forthcoming.
