CCWS message

by Moira Kane

<<Indrajit Hazra CCWS>> Please will you send this out to the CCWS mailing list, with the message I give below? Thanks. Please make sure that Indrajit himself, all the pgs, William Barnes-Gutteridge and James Valentine are on the mailing list, plus the people that I asked you to add last time. If you can print copies of the poster - perhaps in just one fairly bright colour - I'll ask the pgs to put them up. Angela I attach a notice about the next meeting of the Centre of Commonwealth Studies. The speaker will be Indrajit Hazra, the current holder of the Charles Wallace India Trust fellowship in creative writing. I do hope that you can come. The paper promises to be both interesting and entertaining, addressing as it does an issue that is being widely discussed in Postcolonial Studies. Richard Alford, the recently appointed secretary to the Charles Wallace India Trust, will be present at the seminar; there will be drinks after the paper. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Message for CCWS list

by Moira Kane

Dear All, I'm sorry that the seminar programme for the Centre of Commonwealth Studies is late this semester - we had another possible speaker whose visit depended on funding which, after prolonged negotiations, did not materialise. The programme as it stands is short but inviting, beginning with a paper by Dr Phia Steyn in the History Department, which combines African and environmental history. The current Charles Wallace India Trust fellow, Indrajit Hazra, will speak on an issue that is increasingly interesting scholars and readers of postcolonial writing, and Professor Huggan from Leeds, a well-known postcolonial theorist, will visit us in May to give a paper. There are two other papers/readings in the offing which we hope will happen. I attach the programme and hope to see you at the meetings. <<Programme Spring 2005>> Best wishes, Angela -- Professor Angela Smith Director, Centre of Commonwealth Studies University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA Tel +44 (0)1786 467503 Fax +44 (0)1786 466210 Email ams1(a)stir.ac.uk http://www.stir.ac.uk/departments/arts/commonwealth/ -- The University of Stirling is a university established in Scotland by charter at Stirling, FK9 4LA.

SGRS Seminar - 'Publishing Your Research' - 24th March 2005

by Sylvia Barnes

'Publishing Your Research' Professor John Field, Deputy Principal, (Research) & Director of SGRS Cottrell 2A87A, 2pm - 4pm 24th March 2005 This session examines the techniques and pathways by which graduate students may achieve publication of their research output. The session will cover each stage of the process, including the identification and targeting of potential publishers, the writing and presentation of proposals in an increasingly competitive academic marketplace, and the conversion of thesis materials into publishable texts. Three categories of academic publishing will be considered: books, journal articles, and essays for edited volumes. John Field has published many examples of each, and regularly reviews book and article proposals for major academic publishers in the UK. There are still some places left on this session - to book email me or the gradlist Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041
