The aim of this seminar is to assist its members in the conception, organization, and execution of a 8,000-13,000 word manuscript suitable to publication in a scholarly journal. Participants may write on any subject of their choosing. Involving a problem in American history. The final product, however, should satisfy three broad criteria: (1) the essay must be grounded principally in primary source research; (2) the essay must represent a departure from earlier work; and (3) the essay must bear upon or have implications for some aspect of American history. Each of the assignments for the course is designed to help members of the seminar complete a polished manuscript by the end of term. Field(s): US
