This seminar provides graduate students with essential tools, skills, and methodologies to succeed in their M.A. or Ph.D. thesis projects. It serves as a platform to present, discuss, and advance individual research projects while exploring effective thesis planning, methodologies, and the academic writing process. We will also engage with recent publications and debates in Tibetology and Buddhist Studies, fostering a deeper understanding of the field.
By the end of the course, students will:
1. Develop effective thesis planning and time management strategies.
2. Understand and apply various methodologies relevant to Tibetology and Buddhist Studies.
3. Enhance academic writing skills, including clarity, structure, and argumentation.
4. Reflect critically on new research and publications in the field.
5. Gain valuable feedback on their research projects from peers and the instructor.
