ASIAN 6608 - Scholarly Writing for Publication

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

One completed graduate-level seminar paper, longer than 20 pages is required. Enrollment limited to: graduate students.

N. Admussen.

This course is a workshop for the composition, revision and publication of scholarly journal articles. Students will survey the journals in their particular discipline inside Asian Studies, learn about editorial processes and peer review, and read and think more generally about the genre, form and function of written scholarship. In the second half of the class, essays being prepared for publication will be shared with colleagues and discussed in a supportive workshop setting. Students should choose and bring a thoroughly researched seminar paper (more than twenty pages, less than forty) or equivalent essay that they would like to revise for publication; this paper should be complete before the workshop begins. A-level research will be accepted, but this course itself will not prepare students to pass their A levels. (LL)
