What is Journal Club this Spring? Journal Club this semester has a clear and distinct purpose particular to graduate and academic writing, and job market preparedness. Accordingly, and in the pursuit of fulfilling departmental requirements for student progress, Journal Club will be developed as a time and space for: discussing and workshopping writing specific for presentation, publication, and grants/fellowships/awards; and preparing graduate students for interviewing. Unless otherwise specified, we will meet from 10am-12pm.

What is Journal Club this year? Unlike previous semesters, Journal Club this semester has a clear and distinct strategic bent specific to the emerging programmatic focus of PCS currently being crafted by its students and faculty. To that end, Journal Club will be a time and space for: working beyond PCS by engaging various academic communities and scholars with whom we share interest; working within PCS to strengthen the presentational practices of its graduate students; and finally to fulfill departmental requirements for student progress.

What is PCS Journal Club? What Are We Going to Do?
This is a significant, and as yet not fully determined question. However, it is one we are definitely working on. To that end we are introducing a slightly different format for journal club this semester. The effort is to make it a more meaningful, useful, and relevant experience for PCS students and faculty.
As per usual, we will be meeting every other Friday from 9.00-11.00am, in a venue yet to be confirmed. However, we will have definite foci for the first and second hours of each journal club.
-
1.First Hour: STUDENT FOCUS - This will be the domain of PCS graduate students, and one or more of them will be assigned responsibility for the focus on that day. This can involve presenting research, leading a discussion on a prescient PCS issue, focus, or reading. This is a chance for students to bring their interests and ideas to the PCS table.
-
2.Second Hour: WRITING SEMINAR - This semester, in the second hour of journal club we are going to focus on a series of ”Demystifying the Dissertation”articles from the Inside Higher Education website, written by Peg Boyle Single, which focus on the process and practice (as well as the trials and tribulations) of academic writing. Although these articles are far from definitive, and are open to critique, they do offer some key insights into the craft of writing, and bring to light some interesting strategies for addressing issues that frequently arise during the writing process.
So, for the second hour of journal club, which we will call the PCS WRITING SEMINAR, we ask that everyone reads, carefully considers, and is will to discuss the assigned ”Demystifying the Dissertation” article (see below for schedule).
