Academic Publishing Workshop w/ Dr. Goode

As stated in emails:

Mainly, we’ll be covering the process – start to finish – of how (and why) to publish a journal article as a graduate student.  We will also touch on other forms of publication: book chapters, book reviews, encyclopedia entries, and even monographs (single-author books).

This is one of the four, annually offered pre-professional workshops that all Ph.D. students are required to attend at some point during their years at SU. M.A.’s are also welcome and encouraged to attend!

Event Planning EGO Meeting

We are having a lovely EGO meeting this Friday, November 20th, starting at 4pm to discuss and plan for an end-of-the-semester event. Check your email for the Zoom link!

As you know, we have decided to pass on having our annual Negotiations this semester, but we would still like to have a fun virtual get together. To that end, we need to determine what type of event we are having, when we should have it, and how much money we should budget for it.

Right now, the thought is the throw an EGO trivia night, if you have thoughts (yea or nay) on this, you should come to the meeting! We will also be discussing such fraught topics as: what night is the best night to have a virtual event? And, should we try for food of some sort?

EVERYONE is welcome and encouraged to attend this nice, low key EGO meeting. You can attend whether you’ve ever been to an EGO meeting in the past or have hitherto shunned these meetings. If you just want to dip in and say “howdy,” that is fine too.

PhD Prospectus Workshop

Dissertation Prospectus Writing

  • Friday, November 13 at 2:00 pm via Zoom *Time Change
  • Professor Dympna Callaghan

In preparation for the workshop, please 1) review the guidelines for prospectuses in the attached English Graduate Handbook; 2) consult your adviser via email or in person concerning his or her expectations concerning the prospectus — especially inquire about what your adviser sees as the most important thing that the prospectus should accomplish; 3) look at a prospectus written by one of your peers—more if you have time, but at least look closely at one. Prospectus’ can be found on the G drive, which you all have access to. Go to G drive -> AS -> ENG -> #GRADUATE -> PhD English -> PhD Prospectus

November Colloquium

After a little pause to test our capacity for zoom (we still don’t like it, but we are going ahead anyway), Dorri Beam like to announce that the Virtual Book Launch with Mike Goode next Friday, Nov 13 at noon, will be our first English Department Colloquium event this year. Please see the information below that Coran circulated earlier.

The department  is working on another offering for Friday December 4, and we have a number of things in the works for spring, including an interdisciplinary medical humanities panel with our own PhD candidate Haejoo Kim and 2 guest speakers on Fri Feb 5 at 2 pm and a scholar’s roundtable on the Colored Conventions Movement with Distinguished Visiting Professor Gabrielle Foreman (English and African American Studies, Penn State), Fri April 16 at 2 pm.  More soon.

Colloquium is required of all PhDs currently in coursework. All graduate students in English, regardless of year or degree program, are strongly encouraged to attend.

MA Dossier Workshop

The workshop on the MA Dossier will be held on Wednesday, November 11 at 1:00 pm via zoom.

In preparation for this workshop, Susan Edmunds would encourage you to have a look at some of the dossiers and dossier proposals available on the G drive. You do not need to read the dossier papers themselves but are urged, rather, to look closely at the dossier rationale sheets.

November EGO Meeting

We’re having our monthly English Graduate Organization meeting this Friday, the 13th of November, starting at 3pm EST. We’ll be hearing from our officers, discussing follow-ups to the inter-group dialogue session, and learning the ins and outs of this year’s Secret Santa (among many other things!).

EGO meetings are open to all English department MA and PhD students. If you’ve never attended a meeting before this is a fine time to start!
