Research MA Thesis Comparative Literary Studies and Thesis Lab (2023/2024: Jaar)
Cursusdoel
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a specialism in the field;
- Demonstrate insight into a scholarly debate(s) and/or problem and take a position vis-a-vis the debate/problem;
- Conduct a survey of the literature and source material on chosen topic; independently study and analyse literature and sources; formulate a realistic and relevant research question and respond to it convincingly.
- Students present and discuss their work in progress in the Thesis Lab, at which students offer and receive peer feedback;
- They present the results of their research at a graduate student symposium held annually in the last week of June.
Vakinhoudelijk
The central research question as well as its relevance to scholarly discussions should be clearly formulated at the beginning. The main body of the thesis should show how you went about answering this question, why you proceeded the way you did, and what your findings were. In your conclusion you should analyze your findings in the light of your original question and explain the broader implications of your conclusions. The thesis should be written in correct and clear English.
The thesis will be around 30,000 words long (including notes and bibliography).
Students are expected to attend the Thesis Lab in preparation for writing their thesis. This takes the form of a series of interactive sessions which focus on the mechanics of academic writing: from planning, formulating and framing an argument, to positioning oneself within an existing discourse or debate. Peer-review on work in progress forms a major part of the labs. The labs conclude with a final conference; participation in the final conference is also mandatory.
