Students in this workshop will serve as the graduate student board for The Society Pages, an online social science journalism project housed at the University of Minnesota. Participation is based on application.

    in addressing academic and non-academic audiences. Grad board members regularly write for the website, and our supportive, professional editorial team gives direct feedback designed to improve these skills as the pieces are published online.

  • To gain deep, practical appreciation of the process of editorial decision-making
    and public scholarship.

Class Description:
This course provides insights and hands-on help in developing a research proposal requesting funding from an external foundation or agency or a within-university opportunity. This is a learned skill -- you too can write a clear and hopefully compelling proposal! Students taking this course have done well in submitting competitive dissertation proposals, both internally and externally. This is a workshop; we will all collaborate in learning by doing with the goal of a strong proposal draft by the end of the semester.
Learning Objectives:
To benefit most from this course you will need a research topic, and an idea for how you might go about investigating it, but both the exact research question and the methods may well morph as you work on developing them during the semester.

Secrets of Successful Research Proposals: A Hands-On Workshop


This course provides insights and hands-on help in developing a research proposal requesting funding from an external foundation or agency or a within-university opportunity. It will also be helpful to students writing proposals for their dissertation. Research proposals are very similar, whether one is seeking funding or a PhD. This is a collaborative project involving writing and reviewing each piece of a proposal draft and rewriting each piece - several times. The central requirement of the course is participation. Skills to be learned in this workshop include; clarification and communication of ideas orally and in writing; writing in active, interesting voice; ways of making an argument; focusing on big picture in research proposal as well as on exact techniques; building and aligning questions/theories/data/methods/funding possibilities; and broadening issue while simultaneously narrowing scope.

Class Description:


Students in this workshop will serve as the graduate student board for The Society Pages, an online social science journalism project housed at the University of Minnesota. Participation is based on application. In addition to experience and qualifications, the board is selected so as to involve students from different stages in the program, substantive interest areas, and methodological specialties. Most participants are expected to make a year-long commitment to the project, though membership will rotate on an annual basis.

Who Should Take This Class?:
Graduate students in sociology
Learning Objectives:
  • To deepen students' substantive research expertise
    by engaging cutting edge sociological scholarship. Students will unearth the most interesting findings and best evidence from new research in their areas of study. This provides students with a broader vision of the sociological field and offers an opportunity to diversify their reading in the prelim and dissertation processes.

  • To develop writing and communication skills
    in addressing academic and non-academic audiences. Grad board members regularly write for the website, and our supportive, professional editorial team gives direct feedback designed to improve these skills as the pieces are published online.

  • To gain deep, practical appreciation of the process of editorial decision-making
    and public scholarship.

Class Description:
This course provides a graduate-level treatment of major theoretical and empirical debates in demographic research on migration and migrants, and considers questions such as: i) why people migrate (or not) and how migration decisions are made; ii) the effects of migration in sending and receiving societies, iii) the role of the state, including migration and integration policies, iv) the effects of migration on migrants themselves, including linking to debates on assimilation, integration and social exclusion, and v) measuring and modeling migration in empirical research. Although this course comes with "demographic" in the title and fulfills one of the seminar requirements for graduate trainees and the population studies minor at the Minnesota Population Center, as the above questions make clear, it is necessarily much broader in scope, and draws from quantitative and qualitative research in economics, demography, human geography, history, political science, population health, public policy, and sociology.

Class Description:

Secrets of Getting Grants: A Hands-On Workshop

This course provides insights and hands-on help in developing a research proposal requesting funding -- from within the university or from an external foundation or government agency. The class will also be useful for those writing dissertation proposals. Strategies for compelling research proposals are the same - whether the goal is funding or a PhD. Class participants will gain a broad overview of the proposal writing and review process, including the importance of fit with the objectives of a funding organization (or one's dissertation committee). Each student will craft their own research proposal, receiving considerable feedback throughout that process. This is a learned skill -- you too can write a clear and hopefully compelling proposal! The three course requirements are 1) a question/issue you want to investigate; 2) active participation in this workshop style class; and 3) willingness to revise, revise, and revise your work. Successfully completing this workshop won't guarantee funding, but you will have a clearer, better developed proposal for research!

Class Description:
This course is centered around the professional scholarly journal Sociology of Education, which is housed at the University of Minnesota through 2016. Class sessions will focus on the operations of the journal, with an eye toward teaching students how research articles are evaluated; how the review process can shape and improve research; how the process of turning a first draft of a paper into a polished and published article unfolds; how to critique ongoing research in a professional way; and how to respond to such critiques about your own work. Along the way, involvement will provide an opportunity for students to gain theoretical, methodological, and substantive insight into a wide range of issues that touch on education in one way or another. Each week, students will (among other things) discuss articles that have been submitted; discuss external peer reviews of those articles; debate what decision should be made about submissions; think together about how to solicit more and better submissions; think together about reviewers and the review process; and think together about how to best use the journal's social media presence. Students who participate will be expected to do some work in preparation for each meeting. Project meetings will be lively and interactive, and will differ in focus and content from week to week.

Class Description:
What are the influences and roles of finance in the contemporary world and in critical scholarship? It comes to no surprise that over the last thirty years, finance - the constellation of priorities, practices, and ideologies whereby the central goals are to search for and convert assets into income streams and financial investments - has catalyzed massive shifts in social relations and meanings, life projects, and economies. The growth and influence of financial values and activities as central shapers and models of space, from public institutions to everyday life, from speculative cities to Fortune 500 corporations, and the attendant ramifications of increasing inequality and precarity, demand greater scholarly engagement. At the same, finance draws attention to longstanding debates and quandaries in critical scholarship on the neoliberal moment, on capitalism and capitalist accumulation, on development and globalization, on the production and use of difference and inequality. For example, inquiry into finance allows us to ask and reflect on questions such as, is finance just the latest "stage" of capitalism? Why is finance good to think with? How can it challenge us to re-frame dominant approaches to understanding economy, markets, and institutions, and critical approaches to notions of accumulation by dispossession, speculative land grabbing, global urbanism, and speculative governmentality? What is finance's relationship to space, and power? Is finance always already productive of inequality, as well as forms of resistance?

Class Description:
This course is co-taught be Timothy R. Johnson (Political Science) and Joachim Savelsberg (Sociology), incoming editors of the Law & Society Review, the official journal of the Law & Society Association and the world's leading journal in the field of law and society studies. This is the first offering in a series of six semesters. Johnson will take the lead in 2013/14, Savelsberg in 2014/15. Students will read submitted papers that receive 'revise and resubmit' decisions and the reviewers' comments and discuss them with the editors. Different students may take the lead on specific papers in line with their substantive and methodological interests and expertize. Suggestions developed during these discussions will be incorporated into the R&R letters the editors will send out to authors. Students will thus get immersed in a range of cutting edge work done in the field. They will further gain crucial insights into the decision making processes associated with journal publishing. In this respect the course is intended to be a major professionalization tool that should be most helpful to graduate students who prepare to enter academic careers in which publishing papers in journals will be a crucial component. The process should make for an engaging collaborative, intellectual and professional, experience.

Each week, students will (among other things) discuss articles that have been submitted; discuss external peer reviews of those articles; debate what decision should be made about submissions; think together about how to solicit more and better submissions; think together about reviewers and the review process; and think together about how to best use the journal's social media presence. Students who participate will be expected to do some work in preparation for each meeting. Project meetings will be lively and interactive, and will differ in focus and content from week to week.

Class Description:
This course is designed to be an introduction to major theoretical debates in demographic research on migration and migrants. We will consider evidence for a series of questions: Why do people (not) move? How are migration decisions made? What effect does migration have on receiving societies, sending societies, and migrants themselves? How is migration organized by gender? What differentiates forced and unforced migration? How are immigrants incorporated into new societies? How is the context of reception affected by state policy and local institutions? Although focused primarily on migration and migrants in demographic perspective, the course is broad in scope and samples from multiple disciplines, methodologies, and epistemological perspectives.

This course is co-taught be Timothy R. Johnson (Political Science) and Joachim Savelsberg (Sociology), incoming editors of the Law & Society Review, the official journal of the Law & Society Association and the world's leading journal in the field of law and society studies. This is the first offering in a series of six semesters. Johnson will take the lead in 2013/14, Savelsberg in 2014/15. Students will read submitted papers that receive 'revise and resubmit' decisions and the reviewers' comments and discuss them with the editors. Different students may take the lead on specific papers in line with their substantive and methodological interests and expertize. Suggestions developed during these discussions will be incorporated into the R&R letters the editors will send out to authors. Students will thus get immersed in a range of cutting edge work done in the field. They will further gain crucial insights into the decision making processes associated with journal publishing. In this respect the course is intended to be a major professionalization tool that should be most helpful to graduate students who prepare to enter academic careers in which publishing papers in journals will be a crucial component. The process should make for an engaging collaborative, intellectual and professional, experience.
