A tentative topic for your INDS 400 project proposal
At least two (2) research questions that you hope to answer in your capstone project
At least three (3) disciplines from which you intend to glean knowledge, insights, methods, and epistemologies to understand your issue or problem
A justification or rationale for the project, i.e. Why does this topic matter? Why should we care?
A tentative research plan (what kind of sources are you going to gather, how are you going to gather them)
The world is your oyster, but you might think about a contemporary problem or issue. So, if you wanted to examine the “problem” of modern terrorism, you might look at History to evaluate the causes and motivations behind terrorism; Sociology and/or Psychology to assess the mindsets and motivations and habits of mind of terrorists; Economics to understand the role of poverty and class in terrorism; and so on. Remember: you aren’t just “putting together” different disciplinary approaches and perspectives but trying to integrate them and provide original perspectives and analysis.
