Are you interested in learning how to design and run a student journal? Do you have a piece of writing you would like to prepare for a public-facing platform? If so, then join us for the Argot workshop. We will revitalize the JHU undergraduate anthropology journal, featuring work from students in the humanities and social sciences at Hopkins and beyond. In the workshop, students will engage with every aspect of the publication process, including soliciting submissions, reviewing and editing articles, and creating and designing the online platform. Students enrolled in the workshop will also submit one piece of work to be published in the journal. With that in mind, we ask that each student enter the workshop with a piece of writing they would like to see through to publication. This could be an essay from another course, a research project, or a visual or multimedia work (with a writing component). During the semester, students will work on their own submissions, provide editorial guidance for others, and design, create, and publicize the journal. The journal will be published online at the end of the semester, creating a concrete opportunity for student work to reach a wider audience.
