Welcome to the senior thesis.
Sociology serves as something like a home in a raucous world of competing ideas and values.
The thesis course helps you make that home your own prior to graduation and the abrupt shift to new homes. One goal of the course is to integrate the ideas that have shaped your rapid journey through the university. A second goal is to reimagine and redesign your own intellectual home with themes that capture your attention after four years at Georgetown. A third more practical goal is to refine the craft of project design, research, and writing in developing a thesis. Integration begins with review of what has been important in your intellectual journey thus far.
