I am happy to meet with students who would like some extra guidance on deciding upon and then researching your paper topic. In addition, you can contact Miriam Rigby <rigby@uoregon.edu>, the International Studies/Global Studies librarian, for research tips.

All students need to confirm the topic of your term paper by Week 6. While you can begin researching and writing the term paper at any time — and submit it whenever you would like — the absolute deadline for turning it in is Tuesday December 6th at 5 pm.
