Anthropology 804 - Research in Cultural Anthro

This upper-level graduate seminar provides a forum for students to undertake directed writing projects under the guidance of the instructor. The structure of the seminar enables participants to pursue individualized goals in close dialogue with each other and offers a framework for structured mentoring. Class will meet weekly and follow a seminar format. We use a writer's group format to devote ourselves to workshopping writing products. During class time, we will engage in both in-class writing and pre-writing exercises. By the end of the semester, participants will be expected to have completed a full draft of their target text (statement/prospectus/dissertation chapter/article). This seminar is appropriate for advanced graduate students who are working with a body of research data.
