Research Questions
So we came up with a good idea of the research questions we wanted to do. These questions will target more than one area of study but will all come to help us understand halal food and ethnicity better. Here are the 3 questions:
1. Are mosques attractors of halal food locations in the nearby community?
2. Is the ethnicity of the mosque (and its founders) a reflection of the type of food or ethnicity of the owners of halal food locations around the mosque?
3. Are owners of halal food locations in these communities providing food options related to their ethnicity or are they branching out and offering foods of other cultures? (eg. Pakistani store selling Hakka Chinese food).
We hope to do this by creating 3 sets of maps.
a. One will be a timeline of maps from the time the mosque was formed to present day and include the times the halal food locations were formed in that community. b. The next map will show the ethncities of the owners of the halal food locations around the mosque as well as the ethnicity of the mosque. c. The third maps will show the ethnicities of the food offered in the halal food locations around the mosque as well as the ethnicity of the mosque.
With these 3 sets of maps we hope to answer our 3 research questions.
