This project will work best if you proceed in several steps.
Create a list of sources that seem directly relevant to your topic. Begin by perusing the footnotes and endnotes in any course readings that address your topic. Your goal here is to get a broad sense of what academic information is out there on your topic. Remember that you want academic sources.
Narrow your initial list of sources down to five. Your primary goal here is to choose sources that address your topic directly. The best way to do that is by reading the abstracts. When possible, choose sources that reflect a variety of perspectives on your topic. Choose newer sources over older ones as a general rule.
