In this project, you will be required to describe the research that you undertook; the existing research in relation to which your own research was positioned and defined; the research questions that you sought to answer; the ethical implications of your research; the methods that you used in your research (i.e. the theoretical positions on which you drew, the primary materials that you analysed, and the specific ways in which you analysed them).
