Read the posted research assignment completely before selecting a topic…Choose a modern African research topic of interest to you. It will be easier if you focus and narrow your research on something very specific (i.e. country cases/events) but it should be a project that deals with modern Africa after 1885 (However, in the paper you will analyze the historical background/roots). An Example of a narrow topic: Gender Base Violence against Women in Kenya During the Era of Covid 19 For additional paper ideas, a good place to start is the newspaper for issues of development issues and controversies. There are many areas that you can select; consider the different societies (country) and time periods. Select a topic that is broad enough to be of general importance, and for which sufficient sources are available, but also narrow enough to allow you to research the issue in depth. Consider how you are defining development in your study, there are many ways to approach it. Feel free to look up sources that provide or discuss the broader topic of Gender based violence and Africa development (how do you define? cite and explain this in your paper). After your selection, research and narrow the theme based on geographical area, timeframe, ethnicity, religion, other groups/individuals, etc…Focus based on your interest and available sources. Put your initial paper topic idea here…you can modify later before submitting your complete research topic proposal. Go to discussion board sign up for your topic, I don’t want redundant topics based on country. So if your topic is already taken, select another one or contact me about tweaking it.
