Research Proposal and Literature Review

Due date: Friday 8 April, 11:55pm

Details of task: In this unit you will develop your own research project. You will need to come up with your own topic and research question based around one or more of the critical issues we cover in the weekly readings and lectures.
This first assessment has two parts:
1) A 1000 word research proposal. This should contain:
·         A clear articulation of the topic and research question: what is being investigated?
·         A justification of your research question: why is it an important and interesting question to ask?
·         A sense of context in terms of existing scholarship: how is your project positioned in relation to existing research, theory and critical debates? How does it advance or critique this scholarship?
·         A proposed methodology: how will you answer your question (for example, by reading relevant literature, playing video games, analysing social media posts)?
2) A literature review of relevant texts. 2000 words. This should contain:
·         A critical exploration of existing research on your topic: What are scholars saying? What particular set of ideas does their work construct?
·         An identification of relevant critical debates and theories: What questions and problems are scholars dealing with? How do they disagree with regard to conceptualising and responding to these problems?
·         An identification of any gaps in the field: What questions have not been asked? What haven’t people looked at?
Criteria for marking: 
·         Clear understanding of the value of criticality in media studies
·         Scholarly writing style
·         Quality of engagement with scholarly and other sources
·         Clarity and accuracy in the description of the chosen topic
·         Quality of analysis of the chosen topic
·         Correctness and consistency in citation and referencing
