ABSTRACT
Everything hinges on your research question; all further decisions about how to carry out a project flow from its logic. A question needs to have a theoretical, social and political rationale and a reasonable scope, identifying the what, the who, the when, the where, the how and the why. It needs to be ethical, and situate the researcher in the web of social relations the question requires entering. There are, however, many ways to arrive at a research question, and the question is likely to evolve over time.
