“you are to propose an anthropological research project.  Imagine you are a cultural anthropology who is trained in research methods (participant observation, and all other methods that we learned about), how will you go about gathering data in order to answer your research question.  think practically: if you have 6 months at your disposal and some funding to travel anywhere you want, what would you do from the start to the finish line.  take the reader by the hand and show that you know how to carry out the proposed research – without of course, having to do any of it. No fieldwork – a research proposal instead.”

research topic is “international student segregation”
