Class Description:
This course is the first of a two semester proseminar for honors students who major in sociology. The purpose is to help students develop their honors theses. We will take several steps: (1) think about ties between biography and research agendas by reading biographies of prominent scholars and linking them to their research, develop individual research questions, and write topic statements; (2) identify previous research on the chosen research topics, understand different styles of literature reviews and write literature reviews; (3) identify appropriate research methods, develop research tools and write "methods and data" sections (and clear human subjects approval where needed). This work will form the basis for the completion of each student's individual honors project in the second part of the proseminar in Spring of 2012. Each student will pursue her or his individual project while class work will guide you through the process.
