ANTH 590 - Professional Skills & Writing

This seminar is intended to help anthropology graduate students develop professional skills and work on writing projects. Students should be ready to begin, or currently working on, a major piece of writing such as a master’s thesis, dissertation, or research article. Weekly progress on writing projects is expected. In addition, we will cover professional development topics such as ethical community engagement, networking at conferences, presenting talks for professional and public audiences, curating data and field notes, and navigating disciplinary hurdles and biases. Offered every spring. Variable credits 1 to 4.
