Course information
Workshop 1: Academic writing: Research ethics, 2h
In this seminar we will work with the two first sections of the essay that you have submitted. General feedback from your this submission will put forth in order for you to examine your papers and ask questions if necessary. We will go through some common problems and look at how the peer response process can improve the quality of your writing. We will also critically review three argumentative papers about sustainability and discuss what arguments they use and the way they are presented. In addition, we will look at the use of referencing in academic writing. A large part of the session will take the form of a workshop where you work in your peer groups.
Preparations
For the workshop, you will need to revisit the publications that you read before seminar 2.
- R. Heinberg, The Post Carbon Reader: Managing the 21st Century's Sustainabilty Crises, ch. What Is Sustainability? Watershed Media, 2010.
- J. Rockström et al., A safe operating space for humanity, Nature, vol. 461, pp. 472-475, September 2009.
- D. Griggs et al., Sustainable development goals for people and planet, Nature, vol. 495, pp. 305-307, March 2013.
Hand-in 4: Bullet list of claims and your argumentation against one claim
As preparation before the seminar, write down 3-5 central claims that you think can be extracted from the three papers above. Also, outline your own line of argumentation that could be made against or for one of the central claims you have extracted in the previous step. For example, you can argue for a different perspective or, argue for a hidden complexity of something that is claimed in the articles. Or, perhaps you could take one of the claims one step further, and outline its consequence(s).
Hand in your bullet list of central claims, and your argumentation against or for a claim no later than 12.00 on the day before the seminar.
