Course Description:
This course guides and supports American Studies majors, as well as interested students in other interdisciplinary programs, as they complete original research and writing for their capstone project (this can be a 1 or 2 semester project). Students will workshop drafts of their writing throughout the semester. With the guidance of the instructor, they will refine their argumentation within the parameters of their interdisciplinary method. We will balance the use of secondary research, theoretical framing, presentation of evidence, and textual analysis. We will support, think with, and learn from one another as each student completes their project. Approval of the instructor and project's advisor are required. Final grade will be determined by the advisor.
