Synopsis

Take a smarter, more confident approach to the research process with Dr. Hyman's Twelve-Step Guide to Writing a Theme-Based Research Paper. Designed with clarity and ease in mind, this step-by-step guide removes the stress often associated with research writing and replaces it with structure, purpose, and creativity.

Students are guided through the process of developing a strong, focused subject by using a theme-based approach that connects ideas, encourages critical thinking, and strengthens writing skills. Each of the twelve steps is clearly explained and supported with practical examples, making the guide accessible and engaging for learners at multiple levels.

As students move through the guide, they will learn how to research and write effectively; they will also explore one of the most significant events in American history—the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955. This historical focus provides a meaningful context for learning, allowing students to engage with themes of justice, leadership, community, and social change while developing their academic writing skills.

About the Author

Dr. Ramona L. Hyman, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is an educator, essayist, poet, blogger, and performance artist. African American critic Dr. Joyce Joyce says, Hyman is a writer who "challenges readers to explore a poetic imagination grounded in a feel for the southern landscape, African-American literary and political history, Black spirituality, and a creative fusion of Black folk speech with a Euro-American poetic vernacular. Ramona L. Hyman emerges as a strong . . .intellectual poetic voice." Dr. Hyman earned a BA from Temple University, the MA from Andrews University, and her PhD from the University of Alabama. Her research interests are the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955, African American poetry, and the Healing Poetic in African American thought. The founder of the celebratory conference African Americans: Healers in A Multi- cultural Nation, Dr. Hyman has served as a speaker for the Alabama Humanities Foundation and a poet in resident for the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Huntsville Arts Council. She has performed "Hey Let Me Tell You Something About Rosa Parks" nationally. Hyman has been the recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminars for College Teachers' grant.
