Many topics are potentially suitable for a world studies EE. The chosen topic must:
The most successful topics reveal connections between specific or local places, people, phenomena or experiences and the larger global framework in which they take place.
Topics must invite a critical examination of the issue in light of relevant theories, methods and arguments in two subjects.
When choosing a topic, students should remember that it must encourage analysis and evaluation rather than description, unsupported generalizations and value judgments.
Students must also ensure that they can meet the various assessment criteria within the 4,000-word limit. They should avoid topics that are too broad in scope to permit an in-depth study within the word limit. A limited topic thoroughly researched and with a clear focus is preferable to a broad topic that can only be examined superficially.
