No previous design or drawing experience is required.

This is a graduate research and writing seminar with the goal of completing a final "capstone" project to fulfill the requirements for the Master's degree in Labor Studies. The goal of the seminar is for each student to research and write a significant original paper that could be published or presented at a professional conference, identical in quality to a Master's degree thesis. Required readings for the course focus on the process of researching, writing, and editing a graduate-level paper.
