Identify specific participants, stakeholders, community partners, et cetera, that will be involved.
Methodological Approach
Select and justify the use of a research methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, or other research design) that aligns with anti-oppressive principles. (C4.GP.A)
Be sure to support your ideas with relevant academic or professional research.
Discuss how the selected approach will enable exploration of the research question while challenging biases and promoting anti-oppressive strategies. (C4.GP.B)
Support your ideas with relevant academic or professional research.
Data Collection
