Overview of class

Note: This course is only open to Franke Undergraduate Fellows of the Alice Kaplan Humanities Institute.

This course is designed to provide humanities project support and mentorship for seniors who have been selected as Franke Undergraduate Fellows in the Kaplan Humanities Institute. Students will receive faculty guidance through fall and winter quarters as they research, prepare and write an innovative humanities research project of their own topic. Students will enrich their research capabilities through weekly meetings and discussion with faculty mentors about research approaches, narrative shaping and fostering project progress.

Working within the cohort of other Franke Fellows, students will participate in weekly lunch colloquia within the interdisciplinary community of the Kaplan Humanities Institute, create a collaborative means of sharing their research with a broader community, and present their work at the annual Future Directions Forum.

By the end of the course, students will have made significant progress towards completion of their research project. They will have gained experience in research design and writing, and will have developed skills of critical analysis, constructive critique and creative presentation.
