- 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.

- Class Description:
- This course is centered around the journal Sociology of Education, which will be housed at the U of MN beginning July 1, 2013. 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.
