My research paper was on Feminism and Gender Roles in soccer. I chose this topic simply because soccer is my favorite sport and it is also a well known sport across the world. On my paper i really focused on trying to figure out the different roles that women and men have in the sport of soccer. It is obvious that men soccer is far more superior than women's soccer but that doesn't mean that women should not play the sport. I was hoping to learn why women's soccer isn't appreciated or looked up too as much as men's soccer.
My advise to you all is to be prepared and ready to start researching for articles. Complete the assignments prior to the start of the researched paper it helps to organize what you plan on researching. I would also recommend that you go and visit Prof. Hicks in her office she is very helpful and understanding.
Good luck!
