This is a workshop-style course designed to support graduate students in the History of Art in independent research and writing projects, especially those beyond the regular coursework stage. This course does NOT count toward your regular seminar-based coursework. It is mandatory for those beyond coursework who are currently working on an independent research project—MA theses, preparation for preliminary exams, dissertation prospectuses, and dissertations—unless the requirement is waived by your primary advisor or the DGS.
The purpose of this seminar is to help you pursue your academic work in an efficient, realistic, and mindful fashion. We will also use the seminar for professional development workshops; topics may include teaching and pedagogy, conferences and symposia, fellowship and grant application writing, publishing, image permissions, copyright and fair use, predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships, the job market, and how to balance service and leadership, teaching, and research. Finally, the seminar will provide a forum for practice talks, writing accountability, and peer editing and feedback on research projects. May be taken more than once for credit; If you are unsure about whether to register, please contact your primary advisor and/or the current Director of Graduate Studies, Professor Lisa Saltzman.
