Dissertation on existentialism???

Hey,

I'm planning on writing my dissertation on something under the vast, vast umbrella of existentialism. I haven't studied it THAT much, and so I'm unsure of what stance to take. Does anyone have any suggestions of which kind of topic to look at? I vaguely know of most of the popular existentialist thinkers, but haven't read their work, and I don't know how their views differ etc etc.

Basically, I'm trying to write a dissertation on something I know nothing about.... (but I really want to do it so don't tell me not to!)

Just wondering what areas of existentialist literature/theory/ existentialism I can discuss!!

Thank you :)
