About
What is a thesis proposal? What comprises it? How do you go about situating your research, framing your argument, and describing your future work? Although the thesis proposal has become an obligatory part of the thesis writing process, its content and structure remain surprisingly opaque. The goal of this workshop is to help you craft the best possible proposal by going over some key writing strategies: finding the right tone for your audience, articulating your main contributions, and building a cohesive and compelling narrative to highlight your research.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will learn the following:
路 how to clearly present their proposed project
路 how to frame their argument and the broader significance of their research
路 how to develop effective strategies for writing and revising their thesis proposal
You will have the opportunity to review and discuss the content, structure, and formatting of proposals in a range of fields and begin 鈥� or refine 鈥� your own proposal. If you have a draft of your thesis proposal, please bring it to the session.
Facilitator
The workshop will be led by Alexandra Bacopoulos-Viau, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, where her thesis was awarded the 2014 Dissertation Prize from the Forum for History of Human Science. She has taught at Cambridge, Harvard, NYU, and 成人VR视频, and has received research support from granting bodies such as SSRHC, the Banting postdoctoral fellowships, and the Cambridge European Trust. At Graphos, she helps graduate students to identify and advance their own writing goals.
