At Longwood, like many other institutions, seniors are required to take a senior seminar course specific to their major. For most majors, including both of mine, the senior seminar entails a large research paper. In Fall 2019 I took the German senior seminar course, in which I had to conduct research on a topic of my choosing that related to my studies in German. I decided to research mental health in nineteenth-century Germany, which eventually narrowed to the current iteration of my paper, which is on literary depictions of mental health in nineteenth-century Germany, particularly in the works of E.T.A. Hoffman (who wrote, among other things, the original nutcracker book).
