HON 301 Capstone Seminar I: Common Good Research Across Disciplines
3 hours
Part one of a two-part capstone course sequence, this course teaches students to engage in research in pursuit of the common good in the United States or the wider world. Supported by a faculty mentor, students will explore a topic, problem, issue, or question relevant to justice and/or the common good, as well as the research strategies, theories, social movements, and public policies that have been used to understand and resolve it. By the end of the course, each student will write a research proposal addressing a justice or common good topic in the U.S. or globally that demonstrates proficiency in at least one methodological approach in preparation for drafting and completing their capstone project in HON 401.
