Senior Thesis Interests Form

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

History & Literature juniors use this form to describe their research interests and indicate the qualities they would like in a thesis adviser. History & Literature will honor these preferences when possible. Juniors should discuss potential thesis topics with their junior tutor. Please complete this form by Monday, May 8, 2023.

History & Literature will match the student with an appropriate adviser based on the student's thesis topic. Juniors are encouraged to consult faculty profiles on the website, bearing in mind that new tutors join the Tutorial Board in July of each year. If interests shift over the summer, students should inform their concentration adviser.

If a student is interested in asking a member of the Committee on Degrees or another member of the Harvard faculty to advise the thesis, the student should meet with that faculty member to discuss the thesis topic and research plans.

History & Literature will provide a concentration adviser who will help the student navigate program requirements and prepare for the oral examination. Concentrators in History & Literature may not choose as their thesis adviser a Teaching Fellow or Lecturer not on the Tutorial Board.
