Syllabus Description (from Canvas):
The purpose of this two-quarter seminar is to guide you through the entire research cycle, from the elaboration of a research idea to the completion of a significant and substantial piece of historical analysis. The seminar facilitates this process by breaking it down into smaller, intermediate steps: identifying a suitable topic, establishing the feasibility of the topic by locating relevant sources, developing a formal research proposal, and writing up research in sections that form the building blocks of the final work. The seminar culminates in a conference-style presentation and the submission of the seminar paper itself.
Catalog Description:
Advanced historical research seminar. First in a series of two.
