Description: The Master's Thesis Seminar is intended for second and third year sociology Ph.D. students working on a M.A. thesis. The seminar employs a supportive structure and collaborative learning environment to help students conduct and complete an independent project. Students at various stages of the thesis research and writing process will engage in developing a research question and research design, collecting appropriate data, becoming familiar with relevant literature, and writing the thesis (under the direction of a faculty advisor). Some students will complete the research and writing of the thesis by the end of the semester, however this is not a requirement of the course. Other students may have already defended their thesis and will work towards submitting it to a peer-reviewed journal. The course will be run as a workshop and will require significant student participation. Repeatable for Credit.
