A lot falls under the umbrella of Diversity and Inclusion; it's important to pick a topic that is manageable for your research project. Manageable topics generally have two to three concepts. Examples of manageable topics include:
- What impact does mass incarceration have on African Americans in the United States?
- What is the correlation between bullying and LGBTQ youth suicide rates?
Topics with one concept are generally too broad.
- Mass incarceration
- LGBTQ
- Social issues in the United States
When a topic idea is too broad, common ways to break down an idea include: place, time period, gender, age group, or ethnic group.
Topics with more that three concepts are usually too narrow.
- What three cities were most impacted by mass incarceration of African Americans in 2010-2015?
- What is the correlation between bullying and LGBTQ youth suicide rates in Arizona?
Using less specificity will be necessary when a topic idea is too narrow.
