Have you written something for a graduate seminar that you want to publish but are unsure how to proceed? This workshop provides a space for graduate students who want to develop a piece of writing with an eye towards publication. During the semester, we will consider different aspects of the publication process, from positioning one’s work in relation to the larger field to preparing an article for submission. The class will be tailored to individual writing projects, but we do ask that each participant enter the class having written something they want to see through to a new stage of development. This might be a short academic essay you want to extend into a longer essay (or dissertation chapter); a piece of scholarship you want to present to a different audience; or a dissertation chapter in need of substantial revision. In addition to reading and analyzing each other’s work, we will discuss essays published in a variety of journals—essays that will serve as helpful models for our own writing. Graduate student writers of all levels of writing strength, experience and confidence are most welcome in this course.

This graduate seminar, offered by the University Writing Program, asks big questions about writing – what is it, how does it work, and how can I teach it? – and invites participants to apply their answers in a workshop environment focused on designing assignments, building course syllabi, and crafting thoughtful, inclusive pedagogical approaches. Originally created for those training to teach in the University Writing Program, a purpose it still serves, this seminar is also open to graduate students in any discipline looking to integrate writing instruction into their teaching portfolio.
