Conduct research in literary and cultural studies
This idea of as an English major being able to utilize tools and methodologies within a scholarly discipline as a learning outcome I would assert is a big part of fostering discipline specific skills but also learning how to transfer that process to whatever might come next. While as an English major I have become well versed in what source material is used in scholarly writing versus creative, what style of citation to use, and recognize different organizational patterns are most effective for different forms of writing, I also now understand that each discipline has its own rules and norms. For example, looking forward to my next steps, I know that legal writing does not adhere to the same formal set of tools and methodologies but I feel comfortable in transferring my knowledge of research and standards of academic integrity to learning new approaches.
