- This practical course will take students through the process of writing up area and global studies research with the goal of making significant progress on a major piece of academic writing, such as a thesis or research paper. In the first half of the course, students will learn about the main elements of academic published work (such as topics and questions, backgrounds and literature review, and methods) while generating their own questions, arguments, and bibliographies and planning out their written project. The second half of the course is dedicated to getting to work on writing and learning techniques to communicate effectively and efficiently in writing. Through weekly assignments, discussions, editing, critiques, and revisions, students will sharpen their ability to write with clarity while making progress on their own written research project.
