LJSO 4000

Honours Seminar in LJSO Pt 2

Lec 01 selected

The Honours seminar provides LJSO Honours Students with the opportunity to embark on a concerted independent study of their choice of topic within the interdisciplinary field of Law, Justice and Society. Students are asked to identify a supervisor/professor to oversee the development of a substantial research paper or thesis as an independent capstone project. The paper and reading list will be arranged with the professor, and approved by the Coordinator. Regular meetings will be held for LJSO Honours students, to provide an opportunity for the Honours students to engage in discussions about their research papers and projects, but the main working relationship will be between the student and the chosen supervisor.
