Lectures and Lunch Series

Join us for
Getting Published: What Your Best Friends Won't Tell You

Wednesday March 28.
12:30-2:00 Newcomb Faculty Lounge
Followed by a Lunch for all attendees
Sponsored by the French/Italian department, GSSA, and the
Spanish/Portuguese department.

Barbara De Marco, the Editor of the respected journal "Romance Philology," will give a presentation to Graduate Students on some basic do's and dont's of writing.  According to Elizabeth Poe, De Marco is the best copy editor ever to have "ripped apart" her work.  She will discuss how to put essays and other academic writings into publishable form.  Any graduate student interested in preparing articles for publication is welcome to attend.  We hope to see you there!

And Next,

The Job Search: How to Market Yourself

Friday, April 6, 12-2pm, Newcomb Faculty Lounge

The final event will focus specifically on the pragmatic issue of graduate student 'marketibility.'  Issues to be raised include: how to prepare for today's academic and non-academic jobs, postdoctoral opportunities, preparing supporting materials/dossier, interview strategies, negotiating job offers, et cetera.  Again some faculty participation will provide advice 'from the other side' so to speak and give us an inside look into what future employers want.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Hans W Gruenig at
gruenig@tulane.edu.  Those who are currently in the job market are
encouraged to participate.
