The special studies course is an opportunity for students to study a specific topic not concurrently taught in a focused manner in the School of Social, Political and Historical Research's regular course offerings. Topics may vary based on student interest. Past examples include political economy of energy in Canada, and dynastic politics in Pakistan. Learning in this course is self-directed, which means that students are required to plan, propose, and carry out their program of study with supervision from a faculty advisor.
