SOCIOL 5506      Colloquium: Research And Dissertation Project
A colloquium of Ph.D. students to be taken during the Fall semester of their second year in the program. Students will be guided to develop their dissertation proposal under faculty direction and exchange their experience. The focus of the seminar is on students developing and refining a research agenda that will eventually result in their dissertation proposal. Issues to be addressed include how to state the research question, how to identify and evaluate theoretical perspectives, how to review the literature, how to determine the methodology to be used as well as the options for data collection, and how to put all of this information into a readable and operational research proposal. Note: Fall.
