History 6200: Masters Seminar
This seminar aims to prepare you for your Major Research Paper (MRP, i.e., HIST 6999) or thesis. Although the research topics will be diverse, we will focus on shared concerns relating to advanced research, writing, and critical analysis in history. The objectives of the course are as follows: to help you develop your major research question(s); to locate the appropriate research methodology and historiographical debates related to your research project; to engage with a critical analysis of the secondary literature; and to begin writing the introduction to your MRP/thesis. It is intended to complement individual consultations with your supervisor(s), who is well versed in your area of study. You are responsible for regularly meeting with your supervisor(s) to discuss the field(s) in general, as well as individual works.
