Research Process

#1: what do I find interesting or curious about this group of people? What more do i need to know to situate this community in the problem or context of utopia?

#2: How did this week’s research help me come to my final research question?

#3: Why should anyone care about what I have learned from this research? What makes my findings interesting or relevant to this class or to my life as a UR student?

#4: What are the hierarchies of information in my research? Other than chronologically, how can I organize my research and its claims in a logical way?

#5:How does my research address the problem(s) of utopia? What connections could I make with More’s Utopia in my seminar paper?

#6: How does what I’ve learned about social utopias, past and present, influence my interpretation of the sources in my seminar paper?
