Research Proposal

20Jan 2022 by

Research Question:  What is the UK’s history of Yorkshire Pudding and why is it a Christmas dish in the UK today?
Your proposal must be at least 1000 words and you will write, in essay format, what you wish to write on and why. Be thoughtful! Dont just say that you find the topic interesting. Think about why you find it interesting and what you hope to find through your research. -Questions to address in your proposal:

 What is your topic and why have you chosen it?

-Are there enough accessible primary sources to form the core of your paper?

Are these sources in a language you can read?

 –What sources, primary and secondary, have you located so far?

Are there ones you can access? (Consider issues like paywalls, in undigitized archival collections, in libraries elsewhere, etc.)

-Is the topic sufficiently narrow so that you can say something new or approach it from a different/new angle?-Research Questions:

Along with your proposal, you will list research questions. These do not count toward the proposals word count
How to write good research questions is discussed in class videos
