Course Catalog Description
This graduate course aims to support the students’ development as scholars and medical learners with a critical stance. This seminar has two components. The first is a discussion seminar focusing on 1) understanding the relationship between theory and method in designing research protocols and conducting social scientific research and 2) translating research questions into methods/research design, including appropriate measurements. The second component is a practicum; students will apply the theoretical concepts, historical analyses, and conversations about methods from the seminar to the research projects that students will develop. It includes practical aspects such as writing skills, information literacy, grantsmanship, etc.
