Honors Thesis and Senior Thesis Seminar

5 credits · Undergraduate

This Honors/Senior Thesis Seminar is a research and writing-intensive course designed to help DAAAS senior majors reflect on their coursework and apply that knowledge to a focused topic of their choice. Students may take the seminar as part of a multi-quarter Honors Thesis experience, culminating in a final Honors Thesis or Creative Honors Thesis in the Spring or as a Capstone, concluding with a final paper at the end of Autumn quarter. While the scope and timeline of projects may differ, the intellectual rigor and scholarly commitments of this seminar remain the same. African and African American Studies has a rich tradition of grounding scholarship in theory, practice, and community. In that spirit, the work you produce in this course will draw upon interdisciplinary approaches to inquiry, engage intellectual communities, and explore practical applications and solutions, ultimately making the work accessible in service to improving Black life. This class meets in Building 80.
