This student-organized paper workshop is a chance for you to share with colleagues a project you’re working on, and provide and receive peer feedback. Whether your project is a seminar paper, thesis proposal, article draft, dissertation chapter, or a fellowship or grant proposal, you’re welcome to participate, no matter what stage of writing you’re at.
We welcome papers on a wide range of topics pertinent to the “Global markets, local voices” theme: social movements; global environmental governance; the role of science and technology in a globalized world; international organizations; human rights; and more.
Each student will submit a paper, and provide feedback on 3 or 4 other students’ papers. Your paper should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages.
Professor Jane Collins from the Department of Community and Environmental Sociology will open the workshop with a presentation and discussion on preparing and submitting a journal article, including topics such as turning your data into a coherent narrative, crafting your argument, and selecting the best journal to review your work. Participants will then be organized into small groups based on the theme of their submission and given time to share and discuss.
Food and refreshments will be provided.
To participate, please submit an abstract of 200-250 words to dbornstein2@wisc.edu no later than February 13, 2017, at 9:00 pm. Papers will be due by February 27, 2017, at 9:00 pm.
