ENVS 39903 - Advanced Research Seminar

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0

Advanced Research Seminar The course walks students through what it means to conduct research in environmental studies. The semester is broken into three units, designed to move juniors progressively towards the goal of conceptualizing and outlining their senior I.S.s. In the first unit, we read several prominent scholarly articles from environmental studies, dissecting them for lessons gained about conducting research in an interdisciplinary field. In the second unit, students begin to comb through literature pertaining to their own individual topics and refine their own research questions. In the third unit, students each write a research prospectus of 15-30 pages.
