This week we studied the methods to carry out the research. Apart from that we continued working on collecting the sources for our research.
Research Methodology
As I am going to talk about the themes of inclusion, diversity and belonging in new Pixar films, a huge portion of my research will come from self analysing the movies. In addition I will take interviews from different people and understand their perspective of how the promotion of inclusive themes have impacted their lives. Furthermore, I will take help from various published scholarly articles and books. The research methodology I will be using will be qualitative research.
