This seminar is designed to provide a collaborative praxis in which, as a class, students formulate and develop interdisciplinary American Studies research topic/problem. Using the class work as a model, students will then personalize an individual interdisciplinary American Studies research topic/problem and complete that project with peer and advisor support. Though final demonstration of the projects may vary, the project requirements will include: a topic centered on a particular defining moment, idea, or element of American culture; research; critical thinking; communications skills; and the use of at least two methodologies.
