This is the 4th session in Victoria College's Research and Writing Seminars: Develop Your Scholarly Voice.

The goal of each seminar is to help you develop your own voice as an emerging scholar by enabling you to identify, situate and substantiate your arguments in the context of the scholarly discussion taking place in your discipline.

The seminars are 2 hours in duration and are designed for humanities and social sciences undergraduate students. Graduate students should consider the research-related skills offerings available from the Centre for Graduate Professional Development (CGPD) at the School of Graduate Studies.

If you take any three (3) of the four (4) seminars you can earn a credit on your Co-Curricular Record.
