A note on the three types of dissertation project background contexts

A note on the three types of dissertation project background contexts


Type 1: Dissertation project background context: the academic context

Indicate the relevant research gaps and research issues to be addressed in your dissertation project


Type 2: Dissertation project background context: the public media-reported issues context

Indicate the relevant issues as reported in the public media (including the local public media) to be addressed in your dissertation project


Type 3: The considerations arising from the researcher's positionality

Indicate how your researcher's positionality influence the formulation of your research topic, research objectives and research methodology chosen.


Your discussion on these three types of background contexts can be informed by the usage of AI tools, such as perplexity.ai and poe.com.


This note is especially relevant for students using the agile literature review approach (the academic-oriented project type).


A relevant reading: a two-step process to produce a dissertation proposal prototype.
