THESIS PROPOSAL IN WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS

The Women's Human Rights course hinges on the disciplines of political science. The formula for political science analysis is summarized in the terms "who, towards whom, does what what, how, why" as well as what power does and what power is.

Those who carry out a thesis in a topic framed using the analytical frame of Women's Human Rights must commit themselves to demonstrating their ability to reflect on events, obviously making use of the approaches, theories, and opinions of authors who must be cited with scrupulous precision and who obviously may have a more legal than politological approach in view of the normative dimension of human rights.

It is important that the analysis be carried out on the basis of one or more hypotheses (research questions), to be made explicit at the beginning. The body of the thesis consists of the analysis aimed at supporting (or proving) the hypothesis on the basis of arguments based on real data adequately selected and described.
Therefore, it is important to describe the methodology and the state of the art

The subject of a Women's Human Rights thesis may be issues, problems, events, processes, and institutions pertaining to both domestic and international issues that in various ways intersect with the topic of women's human rights.

After agreeing on the theme, the candidate, on the basis of some initial readings, writes in 2-3 pages his proposed "outline", which will decline in a hypothesis of Index to be discussed and finalized with the Rapporteur.

After this phase, it is a good idea to bring to the supervisor a chapter of the thesis (with notes), together with the general index, so as to enable the supervisor to help the candidate to continue the elaboration of an organic work.

An important moment is when the supervisor is able to read the entire thesis: this is the moment when it is possible to evaluate the organic nature, the systematic nature, and the balance between the various parts of the thesis.

THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE THE SUBMISSION OF THE THESES, so that the graduate student has time to review the "whole" of what has been written and, if necessary, to rework it.

Notes may be written at the foot of the page. A general bibliography must be attached to the thesis.
Please note the usefulness of following the Courses offered by the Library and the Department for the writing of the thesis and for research.

The thesis can be requested after taking the exam and at least 5 months before the graduation session.

It is the Supervisor who decides when to submit the thesis application. The title of the thesis must be AGREED with the Rapporteur before submitting the application for graduation.

JUNE/JULY SESSION: The thesis must be AGREED with the faculty member by the beginning of March and, in order to submit the application for graduation, the student must have developed a well-structured table of contents and written the first chapter.

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER SESSION: the thesis must be agreed upon with the professor by June 15 and, in order to submit the degree application, the student must have developed a well-structured table of contents and written the first chapter.
