Students will work on a problem-based, experiential learning project under the supervision of a faculty member. An oral presentation and written thesis submitted at the end of the project will be evaluated by the faculty member. Research and field methods are an essential part of any environmental social scientist’s toolkit. This course is designed to allow students to apply their theoretical and technical knowledge to an environmental social science research project. The student will employ a combination of data collection skills, as well as qualitative and/or quantitative research methods in developing a research proposal, a thesis, and an oral presentation.
