Dissertation Topic

Finding a dissertation topic is much more than researching a topic with which you have an interest or passion. Your topic will originate as a very broad concept that will be narrowed to a specific topic as you read extensively the empirical research surrounding your concept. To justify a research project such as the dissertation, there must be not only a need for the research but also a space in the literature that the proposed research can fill. When identifying a researchable topic, there are a few things that should be considered: Is it interesting to you? Is it interesting to anyone else? Is it defined as a need in literature? Is it original? Is it feasible? Is it within your range of competence? Is it ethical? Does it align with your program of study? Whether a topic is feasible is an important consideration. In what ways, can you insure that your topic is feasible? How do you know when a topic needs to be narrowed to something more specific in order to be feasible? How does your proposed broad concept align with your program of study ? How will researching a topic based on your concept contribute to your field of study? Explain.
