Your formal training as a historian takes place in classes and seminars, writing a cognate paper, taking comprehensive exams, and producing a doctoral dissertation. But there are other facets to an academic career, including public speaking, networking, effective writing, publishing, applying for grants, and teaching. These are not always addressed directly or explicitly in your formal studies. The purpose of the PDW is to help prepare you for the many "other" parts of an academic career (as well as careers outside academe).

Our final Professional Development Workshop for the year will focus on publishing your research, with a particular focus on publishing articles in peer-reviewed academic journals. How do you find the right venues in which to publish your work, and how should you prepare your work for publication? How does the publishing process work and how can you navigate it?
