Studies Workshop has served as a forum to workshop graduate student
writing. This month, we would like to give you the opportunity to
workshop some
of your ideas as you tackle the
challenges of effectively representing transnational arguments, sources, and
methodologies in seminar papers, conferences papers, articles, or dissertation
prospectuses and chapters.
If you have project concept you would like to workshop by presenting it to a
collaborative group, send us a 2-4 page proposal describing your ideas and
questions, explaining how you are
thinking about approaching it
(particularly in terms of sources and methodology), and describing what
challenges you are facing conceptualizing the project.
We will make these proposals available on our CTools site by Monday, January
24, and hold the meeting on Thursday January 27 to discuss them. If you
