Research Questions, Annotated Reading & Viewing List
(800-1000 words)
- Write 3-5 research questions all related to your chosen topic. With each question try to become more specific. (100 words)
- Create an annotated bibliography / media-ography of key resources on these topics and themes (books, articles, films, exhibitions, etc.). Pay attention to recurring themes in the literature (recurring citations/references, recurring terminology, or recurring examples). How did the author establish authority through research/fieldwork? What formal techniques do the films use to investigate their subject matter? This should include 6-8 pieces of literature (articles, chapters, books, etc.) and the equivalent number of films or other kinds of media-based work. Your search should show breadth while focusing in on key sources for your project around region, theme, and method. A strong thesis will have around 50 bibliographic / filmographic references. If you continue to seek 1-2 new sources each week, you’ll be able to develop a robust understanding of your research, practices, and concepts. (Each entry should be about 50 words)
Peer Review
DUE: Read all your group member’s assignments prior to the Supervisory Group session on 27 September and be prepared to share your feedback.
Feedback should consider how well do the concepts reflect the chosen topic and do they have the potential to open up this research in generative and interesting ways?
Also, identify at least one reference in another student’s list that will be useful for your own project. And explain in your comments how your project connects to this reading/film.
