PS PhD students have opportunities to workshop a chapter approved by the advisor with the internal committee. ABD students in years 3, 4, and 5 have an opportunity to workshop one completed chapter with their full departmental committee during the fall and spring semesters.
Policies:
- The Dissertation Chapter Workshop is intended to help students make concrete progress on their dissertations. The chapter should be approved by the advisor before circulating it to the other two members.
Students must circulate their approved chapter at least two weeks in advance of the workshop.
These one-hour long sessions will take place over zoom, and students can expect to receive extensive feedback from their committee. The committee will read the chapter as a close-to-final version.
Incomplete chapters (i.e. a set of notes, missing sections, half-written ideas, etc.) will not be accepted for the workshop.
Fall 24 Deadlines:
Chapter Workshop Period: November 2024
Deadline for advisor-approved chapter: September 27th
Spring 25 Deadlines:
Chapter Workshop Period: March 31st-April 25th, 2025
Deadline for advisor-approved chapter: January 15th
How to schedule:
Once your chapter is approved for circulation, please email the members of your core-committee, copying both your advisor and Alejandra Rodriguez (Rodriguez.Alejandra@nyu.edu). Alejandra will then work between you and your core-committee to schedule the hour-long Dissertation Chapter Workshop.
