Have you tried Google's Wonder Wheel?

Google's Wonder Wheel is a great tool for selecting or focusing a topic. Just start with a general topic (we started with "body image"), then in your results list, look for the Wonder Wheel link in the left column, under the Google logo.

Use the wonder wheel to explore different aspects of your topic. Each time you follow a link, you'll get a new wheel.
