Dear Undergraduate Concentrators, I know that it's hard to believe that it's already time to start thinking about the next academic year, but I'm writing to ask who among you needs to do a junior tutorial next year. All juniors (as well as anyone who transferred into the concentration and has yet to do a junior tutorial) must complete at least one semester-long junior tutorial, either in the fall or spring of next year. The junior tutorial is an opportunity for students to work closely with a tutor on a specific topic in the Study of Religion. The tutorial should be within the student¹s major tradition (or in one of the two in the case of students in Option A). The purposes of junior tutorials are: 1) to read primary texts closely and critically; 2) to engage in rigorous discussion of these texts and the issues they raise; 3) to refine writing skills by writing papers and revising them; and 4) to help students explore in greater depth a topic they are considering for their thesis. If you do need a junior tutorial next year, please email me directly (anne_monius(a)harvard.edu) to let me know (1) whether you'd like to do your tutorial in the fall or the spring and (2) what kinds of topics, questions, and issues you'd like to pursue. I would very much appreciate hearing from you by FRIDAY, MAY 16th, so that I can begin the process of trying to match your interests with those of our tutors before everyone departs for the summer break. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, and I hope that you're all doing well! With best wishes, Anne -- Anne E.
