· Imagine you are at a party, where the thinkers we read and discussed are in attendance; everyone is hanging out and talking. Choose 2-3 people we read or heard from and ask them the research question above - how would they respond?
· Choose the texts and thinkers based on your personal curiosity - who do you want to talk to more? Think about more?
· When in doubt, go for depth, over breadth: include fewer texts, authors, or themes than you might initially think you need.
· Balance between your own thoughts and ideas, and the thoughts and ideas of your chosen authors and texts. If you were having a live conversation with these writers and thinkers, is everyone getting a somewhat-equal say? Or is someone dominating the conversation?
