Have you completed your dissertation prospectus or proposal, and are you ready to launch into your independent thesis research with confidence and a community of support?
The dissertation is known as the capstone of doctoral education. Planning and writing one, however, is too often a confusing, stressful, and solitary endeavor. If you are a graduate student in the Social Sciences or Humanities ready to begin your dissertation research this year, you are welcome to join a new learning cohort offered by The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning titled "Launching the Dissertation.”
We’ll meet in-person at The McGraw Center on six consecutive
Monday mornings from 10-11:30am, beginning 4/3/23 and continuing through 5/8/23. Together, we’ll discuss creating a productivity plan tailored for you; strategies to promote balance and well-being; the importance of an accountability and support network; effective reading, note-making, and data organization practices; making writing progress; and plans for managing “day-to-day dissertating.”
Please complete the following survey in advance so that we can learn a bit more about you. Thank you! If you have any questions, please write to Dr. Laura Murray:
