Course Title:
Advanced Writing in the Social Sciences
Course Description:
Provides instruction in writing for students considering careers or advanced study in the social sciences. By exploring research literature and reflecting on their own experiences, class members identify issues of interest and analyze how texts make claims, invoke other social science literature, offer evidence, and deploy key terms. Through analysis and imitation, students are exposed to the challenges of the social science paper, including the collection of data on human subjects and the ethical presentation of evidence. After they have identified an issue, students plan, research, compose, and revise an extended writing project, modeling their writing on the work in their field. Operates as a workshop, with academic peer review and response modeled by students in the composition and revision of their projects.
