Spring 2014 : African American Studies 240 Graduate Writing Seminar

This course aims to create a rigorous yet supportive space for graduate students to work on and receive feedback about individual writing projects and to promote professionalization with a specific focus on publication.  Students learn to edit and critique each others' work while developing time management and writing practice skills.  We also discuss the ins and outs ofacademic publishing: how to identify appropriate publication venues, what and how to submit, what to expect from the process.
