In this section you can help us understand how your project will come together on a practical level and talk about possible outcome(s). Of course, the outcome(s) may change as your research evolves, but it's important at this stage to have some idea of how your project might come together as a whole.
References
A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed). These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.
