Bi-weekly seminar for HASTS students* who have completed research and are in the process of writing their dissertations. Sessions will focus on various elements of the writing: organizing chapters, engaging the secondary literature, the art of the vignette, etc. Depending on student needs, some classes may be tailored to anthropological writing (integrating ethnography and theory, e.g.) or to historical writing. Students will have ample opportunity to workshop chapters.
