AMS 690 - American Studies Capstone Thesis/Project

The capstone thesis/project allows students to pursue a substantial research project of their own design that builds on and utilizes the skills learned in AMS 500, as well as synthesizes the knowledge learned in their other course work. The final project can be either a traditional 40-50 page research thesis or a project of a more creative nature (e.g. an original work, exhibition, performance, or teaching unit) accompanied by a 20-30 page scholarly essay. In either case, the thesis/project should include empirical research, broadly construed to include textual analysis,primary archival research, and/or data collection.
