Also, I will be posting additional posts to help participants to prepare their research, and to answer questions from interested participants! We would like to suggest to those who are interested to participate, to take research in various directions, for example:
(1) Gathering the information in the villages, where Corbett's activity took place (for example, interviewing villagers in the villages where man-eaters claimed victims), (2) A critical study/review of the existing book (books) on Corbett, (3) New research in any Corbett-related direction; If you are an avid Corbett fan, but are shy as you have never researched anything, remember that Jim himself is a great example of a person who did not have any formal training and still became a brilliant writer and naturalist! It is important that participants gradually develop elements of the scholarly style of research and writing, like (1) State at the beginning clearly the goal of the research, (2) Review the existing research on the topic, (3) Describe the materials used in the research, (4) Make clear conclusions f your research, (5) Present full reference of the sources (dates of oral interviews or full details of the written sources).
