During the course, participants familiarise themselves with creating sustained arguments in scholarly writing. Upon acquiring the basics of scholarly argumentation both in longer article and shorter essay formats, course participants venture into putting the acquired skills into practice and write a short argumentative essay by the end of the course.
The course consists of two days, in a block seminar format: 6 May and 24 June 2024. The first day of the course consists of training in scholarly argumentation, involving small writing exercises and a few reading assignments pre-circulated before the course starts (available to download from the beginning of April). The first seminar day concludes with a practical assignment for participants to write a short argumentative essay in the 7-week gap between the two seminar days. The group will discuss and evaluate the assignments on the second seminar day in June.
The course is primarily offered to doctoral researchers of the BGHS. If there are places left doctoral researchers of other faculties are welcome to participate. Please register for the course by sending an e-mail to bghs@uni-bielefeld.de.
