Writing for Publication

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

Have you ever been curious about how to publish in Security Studies, but been too nervous to try on your own? Have a big idea that you want to write about, but can't figure out how to get your ideas onto paper? This is the right course for you. This course is a student driven workshop supporting independent research and the creation of a publishable paper in a Security Studies related field. The paper will be of journal article length and quality, and will provide policy-relevant empirical or theoretical advances in the understanding of security studies. Students may work individually or in teams of two. The class meetings are focused on interactive peer review. You'll have the chance to see other students' works in progress and seek their advice as you develop your own. Because the course is student driven, it is quite labor intensive. Students are advised not to take this course before completing at least one semester at SSP.
