Course Information
Description
This seminar provides doctoral students in the Department of Sociology an opportunity to workshop drafts of their qualifying paper (QP). Submission of a satisfactory QP is required in order to progress to the dissertation project. The department expects the QP to be an original piece of research that is of publishable quality. Participants will receive different types of feedback on their projects throughout the semester: first, from the entire class when introducing the project; second, from the instructor in one on one meetings; and third, from two dedicated peer-reviewers who will comment on a full draft of the QP.
Course Notes
Required of, and ordinarily limited to, third-year graduate students while writing the qualifying paper. Not repeatable for credit.
Available for Harvard Cross Registration
