Dissertation Writing Workshop

Section 65552

  • Note: This course will tackle both the conceptual and practical challenges of writing a dissertation, providing structure, support, and guidance to ABD students. It will help students develop a clearer articulation of their dissertations' goals and argument, while also guiding them to design a sustainable writing process. This course is intended for students who are actively writing their dissertations; it is not suited for candidates who will spend the semester collecting data, conducting field work, or developing publications. Please e-mail Cory Elizabeth Nelson at corynels@usc.edu for d-clearance.
