Once you've chosen your pairing of topics, you can map out your research strategy by thinking through the following questions:
- What do I want to know about these topics?
- What are areas of difference between these subjects?
- What are areas of overlap or connection?
- What search terms would I want to see in an article or other source?*
- What overarching subject areas cover my answers to the above questions?*
*(See the "Starting the Research Process" page for more on how to use keyword search terms vs/ subject search terms)
