Critical Social Inquiry 0298 - Division II Seminar

This seminar is designed for students in their final semester of Division II, particularly in the areas of critical social inquiry and humanities, though Division III students are also welcome to join. The seminar will provide a collaborative environment for students as they work independently to complete Division II and develop a proposal for their Division III project. Students completing Division II will work on compiling their Division II portfolios; reflecting on, integrating, and synthesizing their work across their educational program; and developing a robust Division III proposal. We will use a workshop format to generate ideas, critically read each other's work, and provide constructive feedback and suggestions. We will also cover issues such as: approaching interdisciplinary topics, communicating our work in a variety of formats, and proposal writing. Toward the end of the semester, each student will give a final presentation of their work and receive feedback from their peers.
