AMST 301 - Research Methods in American Studies

(3.00)

This course is designed to develop the research and analysis skills, critical thinking, and effective writing necessary to undertake interdisciplinary research in humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies. Building on the extensive study of various approaches to the field provided in AMST300, the course develops a fuller understanding of the theoretical and conceptual frameworks of research. Students engage in designing a proposal for an American Studies research project, including identifying research questions, cultivating interdisciplinary methodologies, compiling bibliographies, and completing a literature review, in preparation for the senior capstone project undertaken in AMST 490. You must complete AMST 300 with a C or better before taking this class.
