Honors Projects in History, 2006-2007

Departmental Honors represents the highest level of work in history offered at Bowdoin. Honors offers students a semester- or year-long experience in intensive research and writing. Honors projects give students the opportunity to work extensively on a project of their own design in close consultation with faculty advisors. Just as importantly, the honors seminar allows students to participate actively in a growing community of scholars.

Students completed the following honors theses in 2007-2008:

  • Lynching in the Jim Crow Era: A Study of Southern Counties

  • Bound Together by History: Understanding Women's Participation in the American Colonization Society

  • Shogun: Ideals of Warrior Rule in Japan

  • The Global Impact of the Russo-Japanese War
