Sociology BA Thesis Seminar

Undergraduate / Graduate

For most of your academic career, you have primarily been a consumer of knowledge. Now, you will become a producer of knowledge by undertaking a year-long research project of your own design. While this can be a daunting task, you won't be alone-as a class, we will work together to tackle the nuts and bolts of research: designing a methodologically rigorous project, engaging with theory, collecting and analyzing data, and effectively communicating your research findings. By the end of this course, you will emerge with a BA thesis you can be proud of-and a deeper understanding of how sociologists do research that has the power to shape people's understandings of the world.
