Dissertation Text Ideas and Deadlines
Hi folks,
Below is a huge list of possible texts to consider for your dissertations – it’s also helpfully been divided by theme. This is not a restrictive list – don’t feel you HAVE to choose something from it, but it will give you an idea of the calibre of texts you should be selecting.
SUGGESTIONS FOR DISSERTATIONS TEXTS
Reminder of your deadlines, too:
- Dissertation Proposals due in Wednesday 16th August 2017.
- First draft of dissertations due in Thursday 5th October 2017.
- Final draft of dissertations due Monday 8th January 2018.

Dissertations
Hello folks,
Hope the holiday is going well, and that you’re getting a chance to relax amid all the work you’re obviously doing.
Still waiting on dissertations coming through from a number of people – you know who you are. I am more than happy to give advice and assistance, provided you give me time to do it. If you send it to me on Sunday expecting feedback by Monday morning, you will be disappointed.
On Monday, we will be completing our fly-leafs (fly-leaves? Who knows.) for the dissertations. I need EVERYONE to bring in the following:
- A digital copy of their dissertation, with a COVER and FULL LIST OF REFERENCES – see examples below.
- A printed copy of the above, which you have checked over so very, very carefully.
- Cakes, to celebrate (optional).
Dissertation Examples and Guides
Here’s the example dissertation we have discussed in class, which you all have a paper copy of – obviously the content is great (30 out of 30), but also note how the quotations and footnotes appear.
Here’s the dissertation guide that you all also have a copy of too, to answer any last minute queries.

Reminder that, unless I have spoken to you about this, the deadline for your FINAL draft is Friday 31st March. If you’re concerned you won’t meet this deadline, then speak to me BEFORE Friday.
