Writing Methods: Writing to Publish in the Humanities and Social Sciences |
M 1:30PM - 4:00PM |
Wexler, Anthony Charles |
Krieger 302 |
Spring 2026 |
- Description: 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 welcome in this course.

On Genre: Research Writing and Publication Seminar |
W 1:30PM - 4:00PM |
Cui, Wenqi |
Smokler Center 213 |
Fall 2026 |
- Description: This course is designed to support graduate students in developing effective research writing grounded in their own projects. In research-intensive fields, important research doesn’t speak for itself; it must be organized, framed, and presented so that its contribution is clear. This course helps students translate rigorous work into writing that is coherent, concise, and effective across publication, funding, and other professional and scholarly contexts. Through focused discussion, structured peer feedback, and sustained writing time, students will make substantial progress on a writing project in development. We will examine how to craft strong abstracts and project summaries, frame research questions, organize methods and results, integrate figures or other forms of evidence, and articulate significance and broader impact. The course also addresses venue selection, responding to reviewer feedback, and managing revision strategically. By the end of the semester, students will have made meaningful progress on a piece of research writing and developed a sustainable approach to research communication that supports long-term scholarly success.

Fall 2026 |
- Description: Writing assignments help students develop their thinking and communicate what they know to their instructors. For this reason, a thoughtful approach to the teaching of writing is one of the best ways to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction. In this graduate seminar, we will ask big questions about writing – how does it work, how can I teach it, and how can I use it to teach disciplinary content? In a workshop environment, participants will focus on designing assignments and lesson plans, building course syllabi, and crafting thoughtful, inclusive pedagogical approaches. This seminar will be valuable to graduate students in any discipline looking to integrate writing instruction into their teaching portfolio.
