課程概述

This purpose of this course is to help increase history graduate students’ mastery of the English language, especially within the discipline of East Asian history writing. This class is designed to help students understand (the standards, requirements, and perhaps intellectual agendas of) American journals and to prepare students to write publishable articles for those journals. The goal of the course is to assist students to translate and rewrite one of their research projects into English, which might be a significant step toward publication in an English-language journal. The course will not require students to submit an article to a journal – even though such publication is the ultimate goal. The professor seeks to be flexible enough to engage students wherever they are individually with their projects and to assist them in making progress toward publication in a peer-reviewed journal published abroad.

Even though the primary audience for your work might be Chinese readers, there are increasing expectations now that young historians in East Asia will publish some of their scholarly work in English-language journals to ensure that a broader audience internationally will become aware of their scholarly contributions and have opportunities to evaluate and cite their work.
 

課程目標
 To achieve this goal, we will first read one major article each week from a scholarly journal or an edited volume of scholarly essays. We will explore how scholarly writing, argumentation, and presentation of evidence in Western journals are somewhat different from normal practice in many traditional publications in East Asia. In addition to enhancing our understanding of the content of the assigned articles, our primary focus will be on how evidence is presented and woven into a chain of arguments to support a thesis. In the first half of the semester, when everyone is reading the same journal articles, students will write a one-page summary of each article’s thesis and line of argument, as well as a preliminary evaluation of the article’s use of evidence and argumentation. This homework will provide points for the class discussion and further exploration of such issues.

In the second segment of the semester, each student will present a short list of major journals in his or her field of history (which will vary according to the interests of the student). After the lists have been compiled, the class will divide into teams to present its findings about each particular journal. The team will help the class understand how the particular journal is situated in the field, what its scope of coverage is, and what it requires in submitted article manuscripts, etc. The class will also seek to understand what, if any, intellectual projects the journal seeks to advance.

Third, each student will provide a report during the latter half of the semester on an article of special interest and from a journal judged to be particularly appropriate for his or her own future publication.

Fourth, each student will report to the class about one of his or her research projects, already conducted for another class. The emphasis will be how that research project might be reworked into an article manuscript for an English-language journal. The class will strive to provide useful suggestions for each student’s project. As the final examination, each student will present the draft paper of his or her article manuscript. The focus will be on organization, thesis statement, line of argument, use of evidence, and the conclusion. Students will be encouraged to address any holes or problems remaining in their project, and how they plan to strengthen their manuscript project. 
課程要求
 Weekly written reports and discussions may be in either Chinese or English, but you are encouraged to practice your English. The final paper must be in English.
