Need help with your topic?

Ensure your topic is focused to allow for thorough research and writing within the assigned page limit. Consider framing your topic as a research question for clarity and specificity. 

  • Brainstorm. Write down questions and topics that come to mind with judgement
  • Review Course Materials and Tertiary Sources. Is there a topic or concept that stands out to you?
  • #trending. Is there a current event, problem, or debate worth digging into its historical background?
  • What are your own personal interests, hobbies, or experiences? Translate this to a topic
  • Talk to your Instructor or Librarian!
  • Always be sure your topic meets your professor's Requirements. 

  • Ask yourself when.
    Are you interested in a particular era or event?
  • Ask yourself where.
    Can you limit your inquiry geographically or by a specific location (e.g. workplace)? 
  • Ask yourself who.  
    Which demographic, group, or organization is impacted? Who is overlooked?
  • What aspect of your topic are you interested in? The causes? The effects or implications? The solutions?

Ensure that the topic is manageable and that material is available. Can you find enough material (primary and secondary sources) to support your argument?
