Blog post #2: my ten tentative sources and official research topics

 My research topic is on the rhetoric used in pamphlets surrounding Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) and how it can be improved to increase awareness and educate the public in order to prevent future, continued, or any CSA.

My ten tentative sources:

    I feel that the 10 sources I found would provide a balanced amount of information. I have a variety of study's, interviews, and information sources. Some of my sources are based on victim perspectives, some are from a psychiatrist perspective, some are from an adult perspective, and then some are about the rhetoric involved in creating information on CSA. I also have information examples similar to pamphlets that I can study and decide what needs to be improved.

Blog #4: Plans for Revision

 As would be expected, the first thing I plan to do for my research proposal is to make the needed/suggested corrections to my literature review and figure out how to condense it in such a way that includes all eight of my sources while maintaining effective synthesis. I also got some extremely valuable feedback on my proposal outline from Rachel, which will help me in fine tuning some of my interview and survey questions about the treatment of women in the PTW workplace/how feminine writing is perceived. To be honest, I think that once I get the skeleton of the project figured out, it'll go much smoother from there. I'm just a bit wary of how to fully structure my methods section and how to fit the literature review into the whole thing (especially knowing what length is appropriate). 12-15 pages feels a bit daunting, but having written a grant proposal before, I'm sure that when I actually piece it all together, it won't seem as difficult. I'm lucky in that my res...

Blog #3: The Research Gap

You could drive a van through the gaps in my research topic: women in professional and technical writing, how they're treated in the workplace, and what effect "feminine" writing/communication traits have on women's/writers' credibility. To be fair, this topic ended up being pretty broad because of how few sources I could find on just "feminine" writing styles/structures. There weren't even any articles that connected hedging with feminine language except in one article that only mentioned in briefly--this was very surprising to me, as I've heard several English and Communication Studies professors make the connection between hedging in speech/written language and women's tendency to do it. I ended up improvising as best I could and sort of made a 2 1/2 pronged literature review out of the sources I was able to connect to my main idea. I think I was able to synthesize them well enough, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to write a more ...

Blog Post #2: Research Topic and 10 Tentative Sources

My research topic for my literature review will tackle technical communication (written) practices and gendered language in the workplace. The central question is a bit malleable depending on what information I can derive from the available source material, but I'm excited to dig in and see what I can find. I currently have 11 tentative sources: Bardolph, D. (2014). A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF RECENT GENDERED PUBLISHING TRENDS IN AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY. American Antiquity, 79(3), 522-540. doi:10.2307/43184920 Calvert, S. (2013). Gendered Narratives of Innovation Through Competition: Lessons From Science and Technology Studies.
