Dr. Ostebo
Course description
This is a hands-on, interactive writing seminar that takes you through the various stages of writing a dissertation, a chapter or a journal article. Part of class time will be spent on active writing – so-called “shut-up-and-write” sessions. We will also share extracts from our writing and talk about different forms of writing, particularly ethnographic writing. I will be using the book “Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks” to structure the course. While this book is particularly tailored to writing an article, many of the principles and topics addressed in the book, is applicable to dissertation writing. You will be introduced to various web-based tools that can help you manage your time and your writing.
