SOPH4001: SOPHI Research Project
2022 unit information
What can the perspectives you bring from your studies in History, Philosophy, Gender and Cultural Studies, Archaeology and Ancient History bring to the framing and explanation of a contemporary issue? In this project unit students will develop a research project within their discipline, bringing to bear a range of methods in order to offer solutions to a broader contemporary social, economic or political question. Emphasis will be given to the ways discipline-specific approaches to research can be formally presented and communicated to non-specialist audiences.
