Over the course of my academic career, I had the privilege of supervising an astonishing array of Honours theses, keystone projects, and postgraduate work.1 As a supervisor, I gave students a free hand: the topic was theirs to choose. What I did insist on was rigor, coherence, and clarity, which meant that students had to master their subject, find the the right sources, and not only write, but revise, and rewrite, and rethink.

- “Honours” isn’t a typo or a personal idiosyncrasy; it’s spelled that way because I taught in Australia, and that’s how Australians spell it. (So do the British and Canadians. Americans are out of step with much of the anglophone world on this one.) The typical Australian bachelor’s degree takes three years; honours is a fourth-year program that prepares students for more advanced study. And they write a substantial thesis. ↩︎
