Submit a final, 30\u201335 page senior thesis.<\/p>\n
Your thesis should be grounded in a clear argument that is thoroughly supported with evidence and analysis. Your own scholarly voice should shine throughout the paper; while the scholarship of other authors will be present (particularly as you explain relevant historical contexts, existing scholarly research, and other forms of background), your scholarly analysis of primary source documents should be the heart and soul of this paper. Your footnote citations and bibliography should demonstrate the depth and breadth of the interdisciplinary research you conducted as you crafted this paper all semester long.<\/p>\n
