5. Find at least one good entry that provides background information on your social justice issue or environmental justice issue. You'll combine this background information with a specific community after you've familiarized yourself with the background of the social issue. This usually includes this history, the populations involved, key dates, significant publications, legislation or court cases, and specific people involved. Once you become familiar with this issue (like listening to a conversation as referenced in the "Background Information" video), you'll have a better sense of your own questions. Try to narrow in on what you want to know more about.
Explore the eHRAF ethnographic cultures database, or the website links below to find detailed information on the specific community that you would like to research.
