Research Proposals by Students:

In the following list, you will find you and your colleagues' proposals in MS Word formats. We encourage you to read what topics others are doing and what resources they foresee using. We also encourage you to make contact with others and discuss your research in a collegial way. If you would like your proposal removed from the list, please let us know. The titles here are quick, general ones that I put down merely as placeholders.

For the research presentations, each student will be given ten minutes to present their research to the class. The research presentations will be followed by questions. Since no one had developed titles for their papers, I assigned working titles. If you have a title you want to replace the one here, please email me. Listed below are the panels:
