YOUR PROPOSAL
WORKING TITLE
What title, or title and subtitle, succinctly encapsulates your whole research topic?

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
What are the key questions that you will ask that will enable your writing (or practice and writing) to be appropriately reflexive and interrogative?

CRITICAL FRAMEWORK AND THEORETICAL MODEL
What is the context of your research proposal? What are your key concepts? How will you theorise, and position yourself in relation to, your primary sources? What secondary literature are you already aware of? Provide references to books, articles, websites, etc.

METHODOLOGY
How do you intend to go about your research? Is your research predominantly doctrinal, theoretical, empirical? Do you need to engage initially in some form of field research, such as observing and interviewing practitioners or conducting practical experiments? What, if any, critical and expositional methods do you then intend to employ for the development, documentation and production of your written work and in the exploration of your research questions?

RESEARCH TRAINING
Above and beyond training that we will provide in generic research methods, do you need specialised training in practical and/or theoretical skills in order to carry out your research? For instance, do you need training in methods of qualitative analysis, or in the use of digital technologies? Also, will you need to travel to receive this training? For instance, will you need to intermittently attend workshops elsewhere?

RESOURCES AND IMPLICATIONS
Do you need access to specialist literature? Do you need to engage in archival research or field work, and if so where, for how long and at what cost? If you cannot study without a scholarship or bursary, what sources of funding have you identified where you might be
