An individual project for PhD students intended to serve as a bridge from coursework to the dissertation, taken under the supervision of a BHPC-affiliated faculty member. The practicum project may lead directly into dissertation research, or may allow the student to explore a side project, and the student's approach should be decided in consultation with the PhD supervisor and BHPC Director. The primary learning outcome of any BKS2001H project should be for the student to be able to translate individual research interests into scholarly projects that engage with methods and concepts from the field of book history, broadly defined. Proposals from BHPC master's students may be considered under exceptional circumstances; interested master's students should email the Director and Program Coordinator well in advance of the deadline to consult about eligibility.
