Opened: Monday, August 1, 2022, 12:00 AM

Due: Saturday, July 22, 2023, 12:00 AM

First, building on one of the research questions you chose for your module 2 activity (or choosing a new one if you prefer), write a one paragraph plan to engage invested parties (sometimes called stakeholders) to help you test and/or improve the question. For example, who are the invested parties affected by your research question and who would need to be involved in implementing the research that you are proposing to make it successful? How would you gain their trust and partnership?
Second, click on the link to the Project Implicit website and explore your own biases that might be relevant to the research questions you are considering exploring. Write a few sentences about what other components of your research questions that could be subject to bias. How will you address them in the design of your scholarly project?
