What kind of support does Social Studies provide for its thesis writers?
The Committee on Degrees in Social Studies offers a thesis writer’s seminar to all seniors who wish to take it. Thesis writer’s seminars meet in small groups (8-9 students) every other week from October to March. They are led by an experienced thesis supervisor, who guides students in discussions about the research process, organization, and writing, and provides students with an opportunity to exchange drafts of one another’s work. The seminar is intended to supplement individual thesis advising. In 2009-10, the Thesis Writer’s Tutorial will be organized by Dr. Nicole Newendorp, the Assistant Director of Studies for Juniors and Seniors.
