Department of Gender Studies

This course is designed to offer advanced graduate students an intensive exposure to the theories, practices, and processes of academic publishing and professionalism, with a specific focus on gender studies as a discipline. In general, the course offers students a practical structure for such professional activities as writing abstracts for conferences and grants, turning a seminar paper into a publishable article, approaching editors of journals and presses, writing job letters, compiling CV's and teaching portfolios, giving conference papers and job talks, and applying for grants, post-docs, and faculty positions.
