The thesis is a required component of the CHID program. The process of arriving at a research question, connecting with UW faculty on shared research interests, performing research, writing, and publicly presenting the thesis are all a part of this capstone experience. The thesis draws from CHID methodology and requirements and from each student's unique understanding of their topic.
