Week 7: Refining Meme Research

In this week's blog post you are asked to refine your proposed meme research project.  First of all, you are asked to take into consideration any comments provided on your proposal in last week's post to help refine your topic.

Then, you are asked to consider more precisely what specific aspects of the themes of gender, race and/or religion you plan to explore.  You will do this by offering a brief description of the theme you will explore, what specific memes you will investigate in relation to this theme and offer a draft research question that focuses your work. Your narrative should follow this format:

My research explores the theme/s of...... related to......
My proposed research question is:
In order to answer this question, I will study 10 Internet memes related to....
Memes will be selected on the basis of the following criteria...

Please be as concrete, detailed and precise as possible in describing your research project area and the memes you will explore.  After you provide these details please post two new memes you plan to include in your study.  Briefly describe them and explain how each helps you address your chosen topic theme, research question and proposed meme sample.
