Below I have transcribed a number of writing submissions currently offered by the English Department. Such "publication" opportunities present themselves only every so often, and having your work as a undergraduate accepted for any of the following will certainly look nice on your future resume or CV when you apply for jobs and/or graduate school. I'd be happy to help edit any piece you are considering for submission...
1.) The deadline to nominate papers for the Undergraduate Research Conference is Wednesday, Februrary 24th. Please submit your papers to me so that I can email them as attachment or as a paper copy to Nicola Masciandaro (nicolam@brooklyn.cuny.edu). Be sure to include the student's email address on the paper so the committee may contact them later.
The conference will take place on Thursday, March 25th, 12:30-2:00, Oriental & Occidental Lounge.
2.) The English Department is currently collecting poems for The Beatrice Dubin Rose Award for the best undergraduate poem or poems. Students may submit up to five poems. They should submit them under a pen name, along with an entry form (available from Corinne in the department) to Corinne by March 2nd. If you have any questions, please contact Lou Asekoff at lasekoff@webjogger.net.
3.) The English Department is currently collecting essays for The Shakespeare Contest, supported by Randolph Goodman. Students can submit essays on any aspect of Shakespeare's writings, of any length. They should submit the essay under a pen name, along with an entry form (available from Corinne in the department) to Corinne by March 3rd. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hey these sound like great opportunities! what is the first one though? What topic do we need to write about? Is it arbitrary?
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure that the papers may involve any topic of your choosing. An example submission would be a previous term/research paper that you have written during your academic career, revised and updated of course. Although, there may be a theme to the conference... Either way I would get in contact with Prof. Masciandaro. He is a good man, as we have worked closely before on such projects; heed his word
ReplyDeletefor he'll surely direct you correctly.
No doubt he will, for he has done so in the past as a Professor of mine of English 2.
