Students may elect to extend their learning by selecting contemporary topics or debates that are not part of the required course framework. The project provides students with the flexibility, space, and time to explore complex topics of their choosing. Students are not required to subscribe to any particular perspective about contemporary issues. Rather, the project will be assessed based on command of evidence, thoughtful and accurate use of data, and ability to evaluate and synthesize multiple viewpoints.
