Sometimes you will be given a lot of freedom to choose your own topic for research. The choices are wide ranging and can touch on any subject. Other times the choices may still be extensive but confined within a very broad discipline such as within Rican and Latino Studies (PRLS).

Below are general and specific tips for finding a topic when doing research in PRLS.
