Government 98: Junior Research Seminars
These seminars are designed for junior concentrators who have elected the honors program. Honors candidates are required to take at least one research seminar. The seminars have two primary aims: 1) to allow students to explore in depth an important topic in political science, and 2) to prepare students to write a successful senior honors thesis. Each Junior Research Seminar will guide students through the process of research, beginning with topic selection and culminating in the submission of a substantial research project at the end of the term. Enrollment is limited, and is determined by a lottery based on student preferences. The seminars are open to other Government concentrators and to nonconcentrators on a space available basis.
