 How do you know whether there's enough research to support your research project? When I'm starting to do research, I want to know if there's some shallow surface stuff, some really specific stuff like newspaper articles so I could do primary source analysis. Some scholars who have focused on it enough that there are a few hundred articles on something sort of like what I'm doing and a handful of books that go up, down, in and out, and around so I can get context ideas in a sense of whether this is important to anyone besides me. I have to know something about my idea to even find out whether there's enough stuff on it, which seems impossible, but it's not that hard to wiggle around Google and see what other people are saying. If it's a cultural or society thing, I have to figure out what the underlying issue is, like with the Central Park Five. It's not just the five men whose lives were destroyed. It's about systemic racism against black men and boys and how that pervades institutions, media, white people in charge, white people not in charge, black people in communities, activists, young people, and anything that keeps black people out of institutions, including the media. Everything underlies the Central Park Five and I can't search everything. Part of determining whether there's enough research for my project is figuring out exactly what I'm interested in, in figuring out how specific I have to get and how broad I have to keep it. It's fancy, but you can do it as long as you keep thinking about what is interesting to you.
