Everything, but I think I would start with specific people and groups and/or organisations, within certain context.
Do you have an initial ideas for the kinds of methods that might help you to gather useful knowledge in your area of interest?
Social Network Analysis, focus groups, maybe ethnography??
What initial questions do you have about those methods? What don't you understand yet?
How to apply it (gather data)? and how to create sociograms?
Do you perceive any potential challenges in your initial ideas: either practical challenges, such as gaining access to the area you want to research, or the time it might take to gather data; or conceptual challenges; such as how the method you are interested in can produce 'facts', 'truths', or 'valuable knowledge' in your chosen area?
Everything: practical challenges, gather data, how to produce knowledge...
