This semester, you will have the opportunity to conduct original scholarly research that will investigate a problem or topic you have identified as worthy of scholarly study. This topic will be limited in scope, and your study will be narrowly pursued due in part to the contracted nature of the course (only 8 modules). However, even in a short amount of time, with careful consideration of what can and cannot be done as part of the research process, data can be collected and analyzed for results and findings. However, since Institutional Board Review is not possible in such a short amount of time (approval generally takes 10-12 weeks), the topic must include an artifact that is digital (non-human) in nature (e.g., social media, newspaper articles, stories online, websites, etc.). More so, your methodology will use qualitative methodology, in specific, narrative, discourse, conversational, or documentary analysis as a basis for inquiry. Lastly, since we are communication scholars, your topic should have a communication focus and seek to learn more about a problem or issue, or concern you have observed. Before posting your initial response, please read through the Research Paper: Part 3 – Qualitative Research Assignment Instructions (located in Module 8: Week 8) so you understand what you can and cannot study for a topic as well as what methods and approaches are acceptable or are not acceptable. Note: the research assignment you will complete in this course is not for dissertation research, thus do not suggest a study that is outside the parameters of what is being asked. Your study must be approved prior to beginning it, so caveat, read the instructions carefully! Include the following in your initial post: Communication topic choice Communication issue or the concern you have observed and would like to learn more about through a qualitative research project using narrative, discourse, conversational, or documentary analysis Type of artifacts (what is it and where you will find it) such as social media or other digital content like news articles, websites, etc. Part 2: Below.
