Project Summary: Develop a research proposal based on a current geographic issue that you find interesting. The objective is to practice synthesizing existing literature in order to develop a research question, and then to propose research that will produce data –as evidence for an argument –that will answer the question. (1800-2000words) is a complete primary research proposal, based in Part 1, which includes –in addition to the literature review –your research design, research methods, sampling approach, and a discussion of ethics. Each section will include an explanation, or rationale, for why these are a good way to collect data that will answer your research question.
