Description
Core Course
Students in this course pursue independent research and produce a research paper of 3,500-5,000 words under the supervision of a Global and Area Studies affiliated faculty member. This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore in depth a topic of interest to them in relation to Global and Area Studies. Projects can either adopt a single disciplinary methodology OR a multidisciplinary problem-oriented perspective. Students undertaking the course will negotiate the topic
in conjunction with the course coordinator to determine its feasibility and ensure academic rigor.
Assessment will be based on the research paper produced in combination with participation in class discussions and oral presentations of the research progress. This course is open only to Global and Area
Studies Major students and generally only for final-year students. For research papers written in languages other than English, students are required to attain the appropriate level of proficiency which
will be determined and verified by their supervisors.
