Spring '06 Thesis Writers
Just a reminder that all second year grad students who are planning to write a thesis in the Spring of 2006 should still make every effort to use this semester to begin crafting the contours and outlines of your thesis.
Remember that your thesis prospectus is due no later than October 15. I am still holding to this deadline and will expect to receive your prospectus by email attachment along with some sense of approval by your thesis director and your thoughts on who the remaining two members of your thesis committee might be.
If possible, please be in contact with your thesis director (or attempt to make contact with the person you hope to ask to be your thesis director) and make sure to include me in any correspondence or communication you may have with your director. We are working hard to locate Latin Americanist Faculty and to provide email contact information for them on the blog site.
Time marches on and so narrows the window on deadlines to complete the thesis, defend it, and graduate in May of 2006. Even though you may be taking your final semester of coursework at another institution, you should be conscientious about making this coursework relevant to your thesis, perhaps allowing you to write papers that may later be revised and incorporated into the final thesis product.
Please make this semester as productive as you can given the goal of writing a thesis towards which your program is oriented. And please keep me informed of how your semesters and your thesis projects are progressing.
