Question 1: Explain what the issue is and why it is "global" issue. Do not just assert: get quotes and statistics to prove its global nature from reputable sources.
Question 2: Explain the research of one "big name" researcher (or group of researchers, if they always write together) who works on the issue, why you consider them a "big name" researcher, and what they examine/say is important to examine about your topic. Again, you are looking for books or highly cited articles - but they should be academics or major government/NGO researchers
Question 3: Two examples of other case studies, published in academic journals or by major NGOs or government agencies. Include citation and a brief summary of each study's research, and then reflect on how these studies are similar or different.
Question 4: What is the name of this entity and what is the overall mission of this entity. Also, include the link to their website.
Question 5: What specific programs/research does this entity do related to the research you are proposing? Give specific quotes with a from their website that prove their interest/involvement/importance.
Question 6: State your research question and explain why will it contribute new knowledge/perspective to larger conversations on your issue.
Question 7: What is your research site/case study? Describe it (use reputable sources) and explain why it is a good location for your research.
Question 8: There are four case studies from GSS researchers and you chose two this session. Discuss the two you picked, and reflect on how each case study you picked has a lesson you will apply to your own research design/interaction with subjects/selection of topics/framing it conversation with other research topic/etc..
Question 9: Be detailed, not vague. The objectives at the start of each module can give you ideas for lessons from each module, but you can also come up with your own lessons. We will grade this section seriously. You should think of this portion kind of like a take home essay exam so it should really show us what you gleaned from the material.
Question 10: Give a brief research overview. Where is it happening, for how long, and involving how many people. The longest your study can last is a year; one month is probably the shortest - but this depends on your methods.
Question 11: Explain how this research will help gain global perspectives and help people/the planet be better off and/or at least better understood on their own terms.
Question 12: Explain some of the challenges you might face while doing this research (ie what could go wrong, how people could potentially be hurt, etc...Review the module on ethics, it'll help you here).
