Critical Social Inquiry 0270 - Division II and III Seminar

This writing seminar is open to all Division II and III students who are undertaking a major research and writing project. Students will present their work-in-progress several times during the semester and will be required to provide thoughtful written feedback on one another's work. Together we will provide a supportive, engaging, and intellectually challenging community in which to workshop our work and address shared issues of writing. The focus of the seminar will be on writing narratives and history, but all research interests are welcome. We will hone in our skills in organizing a major research/creative paper, building an argument, finding a compelling thesis, critiquing and giving feedback on one another's work, and revising.

Independent Work Writing and Research Students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time.
