Struggles of safe places and trying to find the right resources for LGBTQ youth color in boston and new york city
Please write a 10-13 pages (in double space, Times New Roman font size 12) research design about a topic of your choice. This assignment combines the various brief assignments you have been working on throughout the Semester (see the Syllabus and see below). Your final research design assignment should also include an introduction and a conclusion. The introduction should briefly introduce the topic and justify it – but you should add a context subsection that gives historical or socio-economic background information and analysis. You should also add a brief section (after the methodology section) that shows how you intend to analyse your research findings. Finally, you will need to include a timeline for carrying out and writing up your research. Create a table that has two columns. Enter the activity on the left-hand side, and date(s) you will start and end or carry out the activity on the right-hand side of the table.
