History Department Professional Development Lecture

From the History Department at GW:

The department is planning a series of sessions on professional and research issues, and we're writing to announce the first meeting. The topic is Disseminating Your Work. The session will be held on Friday, February 25th, 2:00-3:30 p.m., in the department's conference rooms. We will cover issues involved in presenting a paper at a conference; preparing an article for submission to a journal; and publishing your dissertation.

We have consulted with interested representatives of the History Graduate Student Forum to develop sessions of interest to both M.A. and Ph.D. students. The session for March 25, 2005 will be devoted to history careers. In the fall semester, we will have sessions on preparing a dissertation prospectus and the job application process.
