Graduate Studies Design
GSMD 602
26/SU
Description
This graduate level course guides students
through
developing the grounding theory supporting their
thesis. Working in conjunction with independent
summer research practice and thesis inquiry that
is guided by student's supervisors, this course
will serve as a site for further exploration.
Imagined as an exquisite corpse reading
collective, students will work in affinity groups
to collaboratively seek out resources that can
strengthen the theoretical foundations of their
work. Through innovative conversational formats,
students will engage with written content, forming
questions, unpacking assumptions considering
research trajectories and identifying relevance
through sites of knowledge and knowing. Ideas will
be advanced by group discussions, thinking through
readings, critiques, and critical writing,
ultimately developing complex understandings and
connections with theory and practice.
