The Center for American Studies would like to invite you to participate in a weekend course with an American native speaker & scholar, Dr. John Patrick Higgins (an interdisciplinary scholar and a graduate of George Mason University), titled "Academic Research: Tools, Arguments & Methodology".
There is no one-size-fits-all “academic research process” that works for everyone, nor is there a single type of academic research that is appropriate for all audiences.
While there is no substitute for experience and repetition, it is possible to find one's own style and rhythm for research, improve one’s research and academic communication skills, as well as broaden one’s own horizons through exploring different types of academic research and communication.
This is exactly what you'll learn during the "Academic Research: Tools, Arguments & Methodology" weekend course.
The course takes place on January 8-9, 2027, on the intuitive Zoom platform.
Exact hours are provided below. Mr. Higgins will be connecting with us in real time from the United States
