Please continue to research what has been published about your topic already. Keep noting what research has been done. Keep a list of the citation information and a summary of what the research is about.
Use academic sociology journal articles. The SHS ILC database JSTOR will be especially helpful here. JSTOR, an online database that you can search by subject. Go to the SHS Library online where you can login to JSTOR under "Academic Journals". Click here to go directly to JSTOR Advanced search.
Also use the “the Society Pages,” a website of sociology resources, especially Discoveries page, and on the Contexts page, the In Brief section.
Note the citation information for each article you study. Once you are logged on, scroll down to select "sociology" then search any subject you would like. You should add each article to a bibliography and annotate/summarize these articles. In your research project, you should make sense of the background research you find. What have other authors concluded? How does the research fit together? What story does the research tell? What information is left out of the previous literature?
