Full description:	Each student will revise and polish the draft of an academic paper using the principles of narrative and argumentative structure developed during the first semester of AWE. The revised papers will be the basis of an application essay for an international grant competition (mock or actual, according to student choice), and for a conference talk. Classes will be conducted as intensive workshops with students providing collegial feedback and editing each other’s work, with an emphasis on developing an argumentative structure appropriate to academic texts, grant applications, and conference presentations. The semester will culminate in a mini-conference at which students deliver their talks before an audience of faculty and doctoral candidates. Instruction and writing will be in English.
