Title

ES Research Seminar

Professor

Sanjaya DeSilva

Schedule

Mon 5:00 pm - 6:20 pm ALBEE 102

2 credits. This seminar is required for students moderated in Environmental Studies (formerly CRES). Students are expected to take ES 399 twice, during the Junior and Senior years, for four credits total. This two-credit core course meets one evening per week for 80 minutes every spring semester. The primary responsibility for conducting the seminar rotates annually among the core faculty of the Environmental Studies program, who also participate as frequent guests of the class. The seminar provides a forum for interdisciplinary contact among scholars who approach similar problems from diverse perspectives. Students and faculty will share tips on research methods and sources, academic writing, and strategies for designing and executing a successful project. The primary instructor will select a theme for the seminar each year. Students are expected to give a presentation based on a published journal article. Seniors will, in addition, present their senior project work.

Prerequisite: Upper College status. Space permitting, Upper College students not moderated in Environmental Studies may take ENVS 399 with permission of the primary instructor.
