c. Explain the broad research areas that inspired your thinking around this topic (i.e. intersections of gender, race, class, and sexuality; cultural studies; queer theory; transnational feminist movements, etc.)
d. Briefly justify the need for the research (i.e. why is it important)
e. Articulate at least one (but no more than 3) framing questions that your research proposes to answer.
II. Literature Review
III. Feminist Methodology Statement
