This intensive writing seminar is designed to provide the intellectual and disciplinary support necessary for you to produce a first-rate honors thesis on a topic of your own choosing. The course will entail workshops, library research, and individual conference meetings with myself. You will write (in this order) abstracts, outlines, rough drafts, and, finally, finished scholarly essays of 20-25 pages. We will meet regularly, but not every single week. It will be fun.
