Course objectives
Sociology is a rhetorical exercise (Paul Atkinson). This course is not aimed at theoretical elaboration of this observation, but will take the form of a writing workshop and practically oriented collective debates on the topic. The work on site will be copmplemented by several home assignements. The main goals of the course are:
1) to cultivate practical skills of sociological reporting and writing;
2) to discuss and master formatting and finalizing of scholarly paper before submitting it to publication;
3) to mediate a mutual critical feedback on actual finished or almost-finished scholarly texts authored by the participants.
Syllabus
  • Four sessions during semester: (1) formatting and finalizing papers before submission, titles, subtitles, keywords; (2) rewriting sentences and paragraphs (and subsequent collective debates); (3) referencing and using quotations; (4)acknowledgements and discussion of collaborative work on participants' papers.
  • For more details see the syllabus.
