Journal #2 will help you identify keywords to search for primary and secondary sources for your semester-long research paper.
What is your final research topic? It’s okay if this changes slightly in the next couple weeks, but try to decide on a specific gendered issue or event (past or present) that you want to research using a transnational feminist lens.
example: My research topic will focus on how globalization contributed to femicides along the U.S. Mexico border since the 1990s.
What 3-4 keywords or phrases will you use to search for sources that address your research question?
examples: “Femicides,” “US Mexico border,” “NAFTA”
What primary, secondary, and/or tertiary sources might be important to consider?
For my research project, it will be important to center primary sources that center victim’s voices and their families and communities. I will also need secondary sources by transnational feminists who have conducted research in these communities, as well as data reports from humanitarian and governmental groups.
