This seminar is a workshop for students who have written (or are in the process of writing) a course paper or independent study project on some topic related to social justice and wish to develop it into a paper of publishable quality in a supportive group environment. Students will read and comment on one another’s papers, and have the opportunity to reflect on both substantive social justice issues and the academic writing and research process. Enrollment will be by permission of Professor Harris only, and grading will be on a pass/fail basis. Successful completion of the workshop will satisfy the Boalt writing requirement.

This workshop may be of special interest to those interested in a career in academia, although it is not limited to such students. There are no course prerequisites, but students who have already completed or who are in the midst of completing another faculty-sponsored writing workshop, such as that offered by Professor Kathryn Abrams in fall 2008-spring 2009, are not eligible to apply.

To apply for this workshop, please send an email to Professor Harris by Tuesday, November 11, 2008 that includes the following information:

! Name
! Program (J.D. or Ph.D.) and year in program
! A short description of your paper (no more than three paragraphs, please)
! What course you are writing the paper for, or the name of your independent study adviser

Please include in the subject matter heading of your email “Social Justice Writing Workshop.” If you have a draft of the paper itself, or even an outline or a bibliography, please attach it to your email. (Rough drafts welcome!)
