Description
Interdisciplinary bibliography building has the power to shed new light on research questions, corpuses, data, and objects of study. This workshop is aimed at researchers at the graduate level interested in interdisciplinarity, in exploring parallel research across fields, and in finding tools to facilitate or improve their searches. This workshop should be of specific interest to students enrolled in Interdisciplinary Programs, namely the Humanities Ph.D., Individualized Program (PhD, MA, MSc), and to graduate students considering an interdisciplinary approach. We will go beyond the basics by exploring search strategies and tools aimed at developing a comprehensive bibliography across social science, humanities, and fine arts disciplines. Tools and skills learned will be useful for preparing for various stages of the research process, namely the proposal, annotated bibliography and/or literature review, comprehensive exams, research forums, and the writing of thesis chapters.
