Research Writing Seminar in Global Black Studies

3 units

This seminar will function as a writing workshop whose intention is to assist graduate students with incorporating a Black Studies lens into their dissertation prospectus. Further, this space will serve as a writing community through which we will conduct critical analysis of each other's work through a system of feedback and accountability. The seminar will focus on best practices for scholarly production, revision, crafting scholarly voice, and professional development, including abstracts, research proposals (e.g. a dissertation prospectus), grants, scholarly articles, and other professional writing. Students should use the seminar to ideally complete or workshop their prospectus, with the possibility of working on a grant application or journal article for publication.
