English Academic Writing II: Producing an Academic Paper in the Social Sciences, Economics, and the Humanities

The workshop will begin by discussing typical problems encountered when writing an academic publication and ways to facilitate the writing process. We will then address the typical organization of academic publications. This will involve having a detailed look at the basic components of an academic paper, what we need to pay attention to in each part, where to place which elements, and what tenses are typically used. Particular attention will be paid to the essential benefits of, and how to think about, developing a clear “storyline” and being clear on your “take-home message.”
