A final required unit of independent study requires a capstone project reflecting on student's prior coursework, and may be completed under the direction of Jillian Sico, (printer of The Press), Jessy Randall (curator of Special Collections), or any faculty member active in the minor.
Minors in Book Studies are encouraged to complete major papers or projects in these courses in the field of book studies. Topics or independent study units may count toward the minor when they explore:
the materiality of text
the book as art object
the history and social impact of script and printing
media theory and technology studies
book decoration and production
the place of print among other media
