Research 01: Topic Brainstorming and Finalization

Actionable Steps for Finding Your Dissertation/Research Project/ PhD thesis Topic:

1. Identify Your Interests: We'll start by exploring what interests you academically. This means thinking about what topics excite you and what you're passionate about studying.
2. Review Existing Literature: We'll then look at what's already been written about those topics. This step helps us understand what's already known and where there might be gaps or opportunities for new research.
3. Assess Feasibility: We'll consider whether your ideas are practical. This involves thinking about things like access to data or resources and whether the scope of the project is manageable.
4. Brainstorm Together: We'll have collaborative sessions where we generate and refine ideas. This allows us to explore different angles and approaches and narrow down the options.
5. Align with Academic Goals: Throughout this process, we'll make sure your chosen topic fits with your academic goals. This means considering things like relevance to your field and the potential contribution to existing knowledge.
6. Craft a Solid Foundation: By the end, you'll have a clear research question or hypothesis and a plan for how you'll approach the research. This gives you a strong starting point for your dissertation journey.
