What did you see or observe about gender or ethnic/racial parity or inequality? Is this a broader pattern or a one-time episode?
What is the evidence for a broader pattern? What do the quantitative data tell you? Do they suggest that the parity or inequality you see is part of a larger picture?
What concepts or theories (classical or contemporary) have you studied that might be useful in explaining the pattern? Make a list. How do these fit together into a theory? Go back to Week 3, "What Counts as Theory?" and review the material, especially the chapter from Rojas and Swedborg.
Draw a diagram of the concepts you plan to use including connections that can explain what causes what.
