Notes

【Course Objectives】

Acquire the skills to conduct qualitative research in the Humanities in preparation for the Graduation Paper.

Learn how to produce annotated bibliographies, literature reviews, and formal research outlines.

Gain skills in interpreting primary sources, including literary texts, works of visual art, and performance art.

Interpret and assess the applicability of specific theoretical frameworks to one's own research.

【Course Contents】

This course provides an overview of research methods in the Humanities. Traditionally speaking, “Humanities” encompasses disciplines dedicated to studying, interpreting, and appreciating expressions of the human mind and spirit. This understanding of the Humanities includes such diverse fields as literature, art, film, music, theater, religious studies, and philosophy. Students will practice analysis of a variety of humanities forms, including literature, music, film, and visual arts. Moreover, students will learn how to search effectively for reliable, quality secondary sources in a variety of formats and will learn how to compile, annotate and cite references. Finally, in this course we will also discuss common theoretical frameworks and consider their applicability to research projects. Students will apply these research skills in biweekly assignments and in a research project based on a topic of their choosing in the second half of the semester.
