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!
Dissertation Prospectus Writing
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
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.
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.
