This is a research proposal, NOT a formal paper. It is fine to break down the proposal into clearly separated/number sections as listed below.
Organization and format of the research proposal:
Title
Introduction (research question; scope – time and geography)
Literature review (situating your work in scholarship; significance of your research)
Sources (where to find and how to use the sources)
Bibliography (list of sources)
RESEARCH QUESTION:
In the early and mid 20th century, how did the introduction of vaccines/immunization influence public health in China? What did public health look like before and how was it accepted and adapted? How did the Chinese incorporate this new public health tool to their Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? Once immunization was introduced how did it coexist with TCM? Did it replace TCM or were they used together in order to prevent disease? How did China’s philosophy on public health, which differed from the Western philosophy in that it focused on a more holistic approach and prevention instead of curing diseases once they have occured, affect the acceptance of vaccinations within the field of public health in China? How did the Chinese accept this new technology and reform of public health? How did vaccines play a role in the prevention of diseases (Examples: Measles, cholera, smallpox, Manchurian Plague) within the Chinese state?
(I would really appreciate it if you could use specific primary sources when speaking about the specific diseases such as measles, cholera, smallpox. You are free to pick the specific diseases based on the primary sources you are able to find).
