What should be included in a "one-page research plan" for a postdoc application (in the humanities)? What should the format be? I can find a lot of advice and samples for the sciences, but not for a humanities position. Advice and links would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

PhD advice! I am starting a PhD program in Communications this fall. I'd like some general advice from those who have survived.
