Students will be guided through the processes of setting up a problem to investigate, determining what kind, how many, and what sources are appropriate to use, evaluating and analyzing those sources, reviewing academic literature in the Humanities on their topics, developing a clear and well-researched thesis proposal, formulating and writing up convincing arguments.
Topics directly relating to humanities research and writing to be discussed may include, but are not limited to, working in an archive, deconstructive reading, iconography, anthropological “thick description,” making the most of internet sources, and carrying out interdisciplinary research and analysis effectively.
