HAA 2006 Art History Writing Practicum

In this one-credit graduate seminar, students will work intensively on grant proposal writing, and, if time permits, on paper proposals (otherwise known as abstracts). Class will be conducted in a workshop format, with students reading and commenting on each other's work. We will focus class discussion on how to communicate the essential elements of a successful proposal, how to clarify and abbreviate one's argument, and how to write with authority. The course is strongly recommended for students who will be applying for fellowships during this academic year.
