This course is designed to help students, through discussion with their peers, led by Professor Lisa Jardine, to shape their MRes dissertation during the second half of the course, when they are starting to think about planning and writing their 10 – 15,000 word dissertation. The aim of these informal discussion sessions is to stimulate ideas for research, and to develop those ideas with other students and the Director. In the process, students learn how to plan research collaboratively, making use of the distinctive skills of individual members of the group. This course is restricted exclusively to MRes students.
