Designed specifically for undergraduate students, the goal of the seminar is to teach and refine research methods (library research, note taking, organizing material, bibliographies, citation methods, proposals, outlines, etc.) as well as to guide students through the initial stages of a research project of your own design. Part of the Humanities Scholars Program.
This series features a dynamic selection of films that approach questions of scale from different perspectives. Screenings will be introduced by this year’s Society for the Humanities Fellows and are inspired by the topics and themes of their fall course offerings.
