    For the history RSR project, I was of using the ford sociological department as a topic.

    It has a pretty short history (1913-1920), but quite a lot material and interesting facts of things I never knew there (they inspected their workers hosues, checked their hygiene, told them to eat less garlic lol.)

    Has some nice sources (Ford themselves released material on this.) Does this strike you as a good thing to do an RSR on? Seems short and interesting enough to me personally.

    Thanks for any help.

    Sounds good to me - at least its not the Kennedys, the war, the Nazis, MLK etc. or any of the usual suspects.

    Any connection with the Ford plant in Ireland? Did any of their policies carry on there? The examiners love local references.

    Thanks, as it stands I know little about Ford. If I can sneak in a reference I will.
