Comments

This colloquium will support the completion of a master thesis in global history. This colloquium's primary goal is to provide students with a forum to present and constructively discuss their ongoing research. For this reason, each participant should be willing to share and discuss his*/her*/their research proposal for the MA thesis with other participants. The colloquium offers students an opportunity to learn from each other and reflect on the process and organization of academic research. We will talk about the delight, the difficulties, and the challenges of writing a master's thesis (during a pandemic). Course Requirements: 1. participate regularly and actively; 2. submit a provisional title and an abstract for your MA thesis; 3. provide a research proposal for your MA thesis for discussion in class (7-15 pages, 12 pt, 1.5-spaced) for discussion in class; 4. deliver comment on another participants' research proposal in class. close
