Master's Thesis and Proposal Writing Seminar

Sociology 2420 is a graduate seminar on the craft of social-science writing. Writing is not easy for most of us, and it can sometimes be frustrating. Through out-of-class writing and recurrent in-class review the course explores strategies for making your writing more effective, more productive, and hopefully more enjoyable. The seminar’s goal is to help graduate students to advance and complete their writing tasks, whatever they are working on. It is open to students working on a variety of goals such as writing their MA, their dissertation proposal, a research proposal, or a journal article.
