Seminar on Interdisciplinarity

Catalog description

Taught by GTU. Through collaborative-based learning projects, students and teachers will explore critical issues and develop sound criteria for doing interdisciplinary work in religious studies. Students will practice skills for modelling their potential dissertation project, and engage in learning the present contours of their field(s). Featured guest lectures and interactive forums with both alumni and current faculty from GTU departments will provide further tools for navigating the GTU doctoral program, and imagining future professional horizons. Requirements: student presentations and a final paper that is developed throughout the duration course; occasional attendance of departmental colloquia. This course is required for all students in the first year of the GTU PhD and ThD programs.
