Comments
The research colloquium has three purposes: 1. Guest Lectures feature a diverse number of guest speakers presenting their own research, some of whom will be selected by the course participants themselves.
2. M.A. thesis Workshops convene several times in small group sessions for M.A. thesis candidates to discuss writing and research skills as well as the progress of individual projects.
3. Text Workshops offer the opportunity to peruse and discuss, in greater depth, recent key texts in history, notably the history of North America.
4. Excursions offer the opportunity to visit historical conventions, sites and museums.
Course: This colloquium is primarily designed for M.A. students preparing to write a thesis and complete the same within this or the next semester. Beyond that, all students interested in history and related issues are welcome.
