Paper details:Assignment 2: Literature Review and Methods
5-7 pages, double-spaced (plus references list)
For this assignment, you will write initial drafts of two key sections of your research paper: the literature review and methods/data sections. These will build upon the topic that you proposed in your research question assignment. If you prefer, you can also change your research topic at this time. In this case, however, I recommend discussing your new idea with your GSI first.
Literature Review
For this part of the assignment, you should discuss 2-3 scholarly works (most likely books and/or articles) that relate to your area of research. Do not feel that you need to read these works cover to cover (though in the case of relatively short articles it may be useful to read the whole thing). Rather, your goal should be to figure what the author’s main arguments, findings, and research methods are. (In the case of books, you can often do this by reading the first chapter.) This will help you choose what approach to take in your own research or—if you disagree with the author’s approach—what to avoid. Your literature review should accomplish two things.
Summary: You will need to do some amount of summary in the course of writing your literature review. However, summary should be done not for its own sake but rather in the service of motivating your own research (see below), which means that your goal should not be to provide a comprehensive summary of all of the facets of each of these works. Rather, you should describe the really key arguments, findings, and (if relevant) research methods that emerge out of your reading of the literature as a whole (that is, the 2-3 works that you considered).
Motivation/justification: Use these works to motivate and justify your own intervention into your topic. There are many different ways to do this. You might make the case that the authors have overlooked or underemphasized an important aspect or dimension of your topic that you are going to consider; or that they have overlooked a methodological approach to your topic (e.g., surveys if the research is mostly interview-based, or interviews if the research is mostly survey-based) that is necessary in order to fully explore this topic. These strategies are sometimes known as identifying a gap in the literature. Alternatively, you can use the literature to outline a set of expectations about what you will find in your own research, expectations that you can choose to write out as hypotheses if you want. Or, you can lay out a set of competing arguments that emerged from your reading of the literature and then explain that your research is going to find out which of these arguments is best supported with evidence. These strategies can also be combined in various ways, and you should feel free to draw on any of the other strategies that I talked about in lecture as well.Methods and Data
Your methods/data section should address the following issues:
1) Data collection approach: What type of data will you collect (interviews, survey, observation, documents/records, experiment)? Why are you choosing this approach? (In other words: why is it a good approach for answering your research question?)
2) Sampling strategy: How will you sample your participants or select your cases? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your sampling plan?
Here you can choose among all of the different sampling/case selection strategies that we discussed in lecture.
If there is a clear population from which you are sampling (whether representative or not), you should state what the population is as well.
For strengths and weaknesses, you should explain why your sampling plan is well suited to answering your research question, and you should acknowledge any biases that it may have.3) Measurement: How will you measure your key concepts?
If you plan to conduct a survey, what are the key variables that your questionnaire will capture (e.g., respondents’ gender, GPA, their parents’ education level, whether they are a member of Greek life, etc.)
If you plan to do interviews, what are some of the key questions that you will ask to get at your concepts of interest?
If you plan to do an ethnography, what will you look for in your research site?
If you plan to analyze documents, what features of the documents will you keep track of?
If you plan to conduct an experiment, what conditions will you randomly vary, and what outcomes will you observe?References
At the end of the paper, include a references list, using a consistent citation style, where you provide the full citations for the 2-3 works that you referenced in your literature review.
Structure of the Assignment
The literature review should come first, followed by the methods/data section. Each section should have a heading at the beginning of that section (e.g., “Literature Review” and “Methods,” or more substantive titles if you prefer). This assignment does not need an introduction and conclusion that sum up the two sections as a whole—it is okay if they feel disjointed at this stage, everything will fit together when you write the final research paper. There is no set length for each of these sections (as long as together they amount to 5-7 pages). They will be weighted roughly equally in the assessment for the assignment.
