Academic Writing in the Study of Religion & Theology from CFP to First Book

Catalog description

This seminar provides a practicum in the techniques, craft, and processes of academic writing and publishing in religion, theology, and related fields. The course identifies six venues in which rigorous and thoughtful writing connects researchers with communities and publics: course design; conference papers; academic journals; grant/fellowship writing; book publication; and public scholarship—and scaffolds opportunities for students to prepare original work in each of these areas. Designed to complement students’ developing expertise in specialized content and methods of inquiry, this course cultivates writerly communities and deepens students’ knowledge of academic writing through stages of composition, review, and publication.
