GRAD-I 701 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SEMINAR ON ISSUES AND APPROACHES IN GLOBAL STUDIES (3 CR)
NEXT CLASS TAUGHT FALL 2009
This graduate seminar is designed to stimulate students to think critically about a broad range of theoretical and methodological issues involved in global research, including ethics, human subjects compliance, qualitative and quantitative approaches, and research design from different disciplinary perspectives, etc. A number of presentations will be made by guest lecturers familiar with international/global research. One of the goals of the seminar is to create a “community of young scholars” and as such there is a strong emphasis on attending regularly, participating actively, and presenting critical evaluations in a scholarly manner.
Graduate students from a wide range of disciplines and professional schools, including those who are working on preliminary dissertation research designs, will benefit from this seminar. Students will be required to present a critical evaluation of a Ph.D. dissertation of their choice (presumably on a topic relevant to their own research interests), compile a bibliography of library and Internet resources on a global issue, and develop a preliminary research design.
We are also pleased to announce that all research designs submitted by students enrolled in this seminar are automatically entered into a competition for roundtrip airfare to your research site and a $1000.00 travel stipend to conduct international preliminary research. This competition is specifically reserved for students in this seminar and is not open to other students.
