A Handy Guide to Choose the Best
Dissertation Topic
Dissertation proposals should be penned in detail to
give a clear idea of the questions being asked and their
significance, the relevant historiography, the conceptual
framework, the sources as known, and your research
strategy. But before we come to the proposal stage here
are some tips to select a good Ph.D. dissertation topic.
Topic of interest
The key factor in choosing a Ph.D. thesis topic is that
it should interest you; it is also vital that it suits your
intellectual capabilities
and your
student life situations.
Ideally, you
will be working
on your topic for
a long duration –
from its start as a
proposal to end as a book. In a worst-case scenario, the
choice of a topic becomes an obstacle to your finishing
your degree or publishing it. The obvious task of selecting
a PHD topic is not always that all apparent.
Topic of choice
Some PHD students are fortunate and they have a nagging
question to which
they should know the
solution. A question
accessible to the tools of
the subject, the sources
required, the student
already has the skills
needed to effectively research it, the question is one that
quickly reminds others as important, and it’s a project
a faculty member in the student’s department is wellequipped
to advise. This ideal conjunction is rare. More
often humanities graduate students find themselves,
as they approach the end of course work, or complete
their preliminary exams, intrigued by many questions,
and by many historical methodologies. They may have
a topic but no sources, or a fascinating archive, but no
question, or both a problematic and documentation
one that lacks skill. Many students are distracted by
nervousness, convinced that if only they can identify
the next “important” topic, their future will be safe.
An “apt” topic will give research and write-up support
funds (grants), fellowships for post-doctoral, and lead
to a professional employment.

Historical questions
The first step is to think very openly about the historical
questions that engage you. An effective strategy here is
simply to make a list of the books you have read that
when you thought, “I wish I had known that” Or, if
there was a material or a course that made you choose
graduate work in management, review it or go back over
your notes. Then ponder on what it is, exactly, that you
found so convincing. Was it the questions asked? The
rhetorical style? The evidence used? This thought process
should filter the field of probable sub-disciplines.
Historical research
The next phase is to assess the type of historical research
for which you have the required know-how. There are
projects that take a lot of you time in the public libraries
reviewing printer material. There are
projects that take a lot of you time in the public libraries
reviewing printer material. There are restrictions,
limitations, or gaps that can be effectively resolved, but
some should be accepted and a topic selected that accommodates
them.
Brainstorming
After you have made your initial lists – of the books you
would have liked to have written at this point, in addition
to brainstorming with colleagues and teachers,
you should turn your attention seriously to the existing
history and source possibilities. You must review what
others wrote on, or related to, this topic? If it’s a topic
in which no one seems to have written for a long time,
why is the reason? If there is a big amount of work that
has been developed in the last five years, is there really
space for you? What kinds of references might there be?

Dissertation proposal
The proposal has three purposes and comprises a) To
give you with a compass of your project for the next
couple of years. It is very easy, even required, to lose the
big plan as you work your way through the sources. It is
critical, therefore, to have a clear view/statement of the
larger goals – the main idea, the key questions, and the
fields of study. Needless to say, this view changes over
time as you work on your MBA thesis; b) To communicate
to your instruction board members to provide the
best possible support to you. Your committee can only
be useful if it really understands the project; and finally,
c) Provide content to showcase other scholars over the
next couple of years, that will give them a clear direction
of your work.
Dissertations are academic qualifications. Much
more significantly, however, researching and writing
a dissertation is a great adventure. The best
Ph.D dissertation topics are the ones their authors were
motivated to write.
