The goal of an argument research proposal is to create a working argument thesis statement and a basic research plan that considers context, audience, and purpose and that presents potential sources that support and run counter to your stance. Keep in mind that rather than being an outline or structural plan for your essay, this proposal should ground you in the scholarly conversation, should offer direction for research needs, and should give your professor ample focused material viable for providing effective feedback before the drafting process.
