Scoping and Framing the MO3351 Project, or: “Is 5000 Words Really Enough?”

A perennial enemy of mine the last two and a half years at St. Andrews has been the Department of History’s word count limits, which are usually set between 1500 and 2500 words. I inevitably find myself tearfully saying goodbye
