In this colloquium, we focus on forming an exciting and answerable
research question for a BA thesis. We look at the relationship between
formulating a hypothesis and subsequently identifying methods to guide
the inquiry. The colloquium is a process of discovery best conducted
with peers.

The study of Digital Culture increasingly calls for interdisciplinary
methods – you have a considerable amount of latitude in terms of your
topic and methods. This disciplinary latitude means that choosing a
topic narrow enough to answer in a BA thesis is critical. For this
reason, much of the feedback given in the initial stages amounts to “be
more specific.” Accordingly, you will get the most out of this
colloquium if you arrive with a clearly defined topic. You have to know
the boundaries (e.g., a time frame, geographic area, demographics).

To help students build a well-defined field of inquiry, including methods.
To understand what an interdisciplinary approach entails and enables.
To understand the mechanics of a good BA thesis.
