APY 650SEM - Anthropology Profession

This course is intended to provide students with an introduction to basic professionalization necessary for a career in academic or other research. Most importantly, the course should provide a means for students to begin to resolve their own research interests and to consider what basic research strategies they should invoke in their work. Topics include writing that describes an academic persona (autobiographical sketches, CVs, and statements of purpose); critique and review of other people¿s work (book reviews, proposal reviews, and manuscript reviews); disciplinary service (biographies, obituaries, organizing sessions and panels); and shaping and presenting original research (research and grant proposals, book proposals, conference presentations).
