Dear All,
We have pleasure in sending you the CCWS Programme of seminars for
Spring 2006. The first seminar is not until April but we will remind
you nearer the time. We would also like to bring to your attention the
'Postcolonial Representations Conference' in honour of Professor Angela
Smith who retires from the University of Stirling at the end of this
semester. Details of the Conference are attached. Professor Smith will
be a great loss to the Department and we hope you will be able to join
us in wishing her a very happy retirement when it comes.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

If you are nervous about presenting your work to a conference, or even

'Publishing Your Research'
Professor John Field, Deputy Principal, (Research) & Director of SGRS
Cottrell 4B108, 2pm - 4pm
9th March 2006
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.

'Surviving the Viva'
Peter Sullivan, Vice Dean (Research), Faculty of Arts
Cottrell, 4B108, 2pm - 4pm
23rd February 2006
The PhD viva is surrounded by mystique, but this shouldn't affect your
preparation or your performance. This session will, using both the
experiences of supervisor & students alike, provide you with information
that clarifies the viva process. You will be able to identify what
questions and strategies that you should discuss in further depth with
your supervisor. This seminar will:
* remove the mystique surrounding the viva process;
* define what the viva involves;
* help you structure and prepare for your viva.
