How to Write an Abstract Workshop

Couldn't make it to our "How to Write an Abstract" Workshop with Dr. Ian Barnard? Not to worry, we have you covered! 

Why present at a conference at all? 

1. It's good to get feedback from scholars and peers
2. You can share and show off your ideas!
3. Join in a scholarly conversational.
4. Network.
5. It looks good on resume
6. Party it up! Some conferences have big parties! 

What are the steps for presenting at a conference? 

1. Find a call for papers (look on www.cfplist.com and www.cfp.english.upenn.edu)
2. Beware of conferences that ask for more that $100 for a registration fee, as they could be a scam!
3. Submit to many different conferences. You don't have to go to all of them. Some conferences are large (MLA, CCCC) and some are small (AGSE, graduate conferences). It may be a good idea to start with small ones if you have never done a conference before. Small conferences are generally more warm and welcoming.
4. Peer referee process. Some conferences ask for no names on the abstract to make the selection process fair. Some ask for a CV (which generally means they are looking for big names).

Do I submit a paper I have written or do I write a new paper? 

1. As a graduate student, it's a good idea to submit an abstract for a paper you have already written, since we are all so busy writing papers anyways!
2. You can submit an abstract for a paper you have not yet written. This is called the art of BSing! The drawback is that then you have to write an extra paper.

Here are some general tips for writing an abstract: 

1. In the language of your abstract, act like you already wrote the paper.
2. Summarize your main argument.
3. Show the significance to what is going on in the field - add your voice to the conversation.
4. Indicate if you are going to do something different in your presentation (mode of presentation) other than just reading the paper. This can be everything from using multimedia to doing an interpretive dance.
5. Try to polish your writing.
6. Follow the abstract guidelines. Don't go over the word count.
7. Connect your title to conference theme if possible. Title should also indicate the significance of your ideas.
8. If submitting a creative writing piece, summarize what you are doing in your piece (AWP is a well-known conference for creative works).
9. Use some buzz words (jargon), especially if your paper is heavy on the theory.

* Once you have been accepted, remember that the paper you present does not have to reflect what you stated in your abstract!

A big thank you for everyone who could make it and to Dr. Barnard for leading a fabulous and informative Workshop! 

Stay tuned for part 2, coming Spring 2013

Highlights from “Path to the PhD” Workshop

Today Dr. Ranita Chatterjee graced our meeting with her wisdom and experience about her own, as well as the general, steps one takes to become a PhD. She outlined three main components that influence one’s academic career and those are: mentors, determination, and the overarching narrative of one’s goal.

Though most of us only know what is academically prudent to ask, Dr. Chatterjee shared her own personal journey to graduate study. Born into a family of academics, Dr. Chatterjee was first mentored by her parents who always encouraged her to seek higher education.

While Dr. Chatterjee attended the University of Calgary, she was convinced that she would pursue a career in the sciences and took everything from biology to zoology, but an illness forced her to leave the science labs that were aggravating her health. Turning to the humanities, Dr. Chatterjee chose to study English hoping eventually to become a scientific journalist.  Though english was not a subject she was exceedingly passionate about, Dr. Chatterjee fell in love with the subject when she discovered theory; its formulaic philosophy appealing to her scientific mind.

Graduating with a BA in English with a minor in Biology, Dr. Chatterjee applied to several MA programs in Canada, choosing to go east of her Calgary home to McMaster University near Toronto. At twenty-two years old, graduate school seemed daunting as Dr. Chatterjee was surrounded by more experienced scholars, yet she was determined to continue with her education.

Getting into a Master’s program proved fairly easy compared to the immense process of applying to doctoral programs of which none accepted Dr. Chatterjee. With few options, she chose to attend University of Waterloo to obtain an M Phil, which is a degree between an MA and a PhD. A year later she reapplied and was accepted into the University of Western Ontario in late July (a decision that came about because she was waitlisted).

From this long arduous journey to the highest level of graduate school and its completion years later, Dr. Chatterjee offers the following tips:  

Be Diplomatic 


Though there may be some professors that do make your day, you should always maintain good standing with them. You never know who may be on the admission committee or friends with the right people.





Build a Relationship with Professors

Professors are a wealth of knowledge and the only way to get a good letter of recommendation, or ask someone to mentor you, is to first build that relationship with them. Visit during office hours and discuss something in their field. A good scholarly topic will always open up communication.



Choose a Mentor  

Mentors will the the key to academic success and guidance. Build that relationship and then listen to their advice. They are in the field you wish to study. Thus, they will know what schools would be best to apply to and which scholars might help you to get in. Mentors can also advise on which courses to take in order for you to have the best advantage. Mentors can also help by becoming advisors for scholarships such as the Pre-Doc that is due every year at CSUN in March.
When Applying to PhD Programs

1. Ask yourself why you are doing it, because a doctorate will not guarantee you a job.
2. Think of the complete package when applying to the PhD program:
a. GPA must be high, close to 4.0
b. break 700 in the GRE, aim for a high score in the subject area. The admission committee won’t look at it unless it comes down to two people and the score must break the tie
c. Writing sample- must match the statement of purpose area of interest.  If your sample is written about something different, you must explain why with a good reason
d. Statement of interest: What you want to do in your PhD, like a proposal for the dissertation, but you need a bridge for what you did in you MA and what you want to do in the PhD program. Must be short and be concise, clear, and superimpose a narrative of your choice to go into a doctorate program
e. Letters- You do not want form letters from professors. Some letters ask about your percentile rank and personality so you want a professor who really knows you and your work.

The Narrative: Make sure you mention your own experience in your application such as clubs in which you have served as an officer or any work experience. Always include this in your statement to show your life experience. 

How to Choose a School:

Pick a school that offers the three areas of interest you wish to study and explain in your statement how this will factor in, as well as the authors you want to examine.  

Rejections are a sign that you tried, so do not become discouraged.

Once in the Program
You will spend two years taking classes and most likely teaching.

Comprehensive exams: These are really in depth and cover everything from 1780-1920 time span. You get one year where you study then show up and take test for 4 hours written, then a 3-hour oral exam.

Some people who cannot manage time spend this year slacking off, panic and then fail. This is where determination and discipline play a role.



ABD Level: All but dissertation level is where you have passed exams and then you must complete your dissertation. This is a lonely time where you research and write. At times critiques from your mentor may become daunting, but personal determination and a supportive mentor will help. 


The Job : You must be willing to move anywhere there is a job. Dr. Chatterjee’s own path brought her from Canada to Salt Lake City, Utah to Vassar College in New York and finally to us, in sunny California.

AGSE thanks Dr. Chatterjee for sharing her knowledge, advice and most of all, her story of struggle, disappointment, rejection and ultimate determination and success.

2012-2013 AGSE Board

President: Lorie Hamalian


Lorie Hamalian earned her B.A. in English and is currently working on her M.A. in English: Literature at California State University of Northridge. Her research interests include British Romanticism and critical theory, sprinkled with pop cultural and game studies. She currently works as a supplemental instructor, writing tutor, and future teaching associate at CSUN, and additionally works as a clerk at the public library. Often referred to as a “woman-child,” Lorie enjoys reading children’s and adolescent literature, hiking, playing video games, and watching films, animated shows, and situational comedies. If elected as President of AGSE, Lorie promises to maintain AGSE’s legacy of professionalism and collaborative awesomeness as the program continues to grow and flourish. But, unfortunately, she can’t make someone fall in love with you.

Vice President: Megan Betry


Megan Betry graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in American Literature in 2009.

She is currently in her second semester in the CSUN English grad program and upon graduation, plans to find a teaching job and spend the rest of her life teaching third graders about free-floating signifiers, post-colonialism, and how to return to the Imaginary.


Recording Secretary: Melissa Palazzo


I've been a graduate student in the Literature concentration at CSUN as well as a member of AGSE for three semesters, but my family jokes that I was born an English major. I completed my undergrad at UCLA and found the experience of commuting to and attending a university of that size to be rather alienating. In AGSE, I have found friends, community, and delicious cupcakes. As Recording Secretary, I'd like to continue the traditions and sense of camaraderie that the organization has given to me, and return that back to my fellow students. I'd like to see us grow even further than the current fantastic leadership has led us, both as a support system and as a resource to better all of our experiences at CSUN.

Treasurer: Gina Lawrence


I am an English Rhetoric and Composition MA student, SI leader, and TA
candidate. My academic interests include popular culture theory,
zombie literary theory, creative writing, poetry, creative
non-fiction, creative rhetorical applications, classical rhetoric,
rhetoric of science, and post modern composition studies.

My personal interests include yoga, running, coffee, fashion, zombie
movies/television shows/books, and walking my love of my life, Fonzie.


Press Secretary: Holly Batty and Rolando Rubalcava



Holly Batty is in her second semester at CSUN focusing on Rhetoric and Composition. She worked on her undergraduate degree both at UCLA and at LA Valley College; at the latter she has been the Coordinator of the Writing Center since 2007. Holly is the happy owner of her dog, Buffy.








Historian: Johnny Straight

I am an English Rhetoric and Composition Masters student, SI leader, and Historian of AGSE. My academic interests are visual literacy, pedagogy, modernism, psychoanalysis, post-colonial studies, and composition. I am the proud pet poppy of Mozart and Sparky, which are my cat and my dog, appearing to be fraternal twins due to their identical coats.

“How to Present at a Conference" Workshop

For those who could not attend this workshop, these are the highlights and tips from Dr. Ian Barnard for a successful, witty and enjoyable experience while presenting.




THE CONTENT

THE PAPER

•There are two parts of a conference presentation: the content and the performance
•For creative writing (CW): If you have more than one piece, think of the best order in which to present the pieces.
•For academic writing (AW):
1. Remove long quotes. It is hard to follow orally, make a handout instead so people can follow along.
2. Remove long sentences/ They are also hard to follow.
•For Both:
1.Print out the work in print large enough to read easily so you do not lose your place
2.Think of the page breaks and never break up a sentence onto two separate pages
3.Allow space to add-lib, pause, make notes to leave time to elaborate on points. This also helps to re-engage your audience.

SOURCES
•Introduce your sources before the quote
4.Don’t include page numbers in your vocal presentations. If someone asks in Q&A then tell them.






THE PRESENTATION

METHOD

•There are two ways of presenting any piece: reading or talking
•Reading: Literally reading what is on your page without adding anything that is not scripted. This may not be as engaging, but you will sound eloquent, and your timing will be spot on.
•Talking: You add-lib, make jokes or add explanations as you present your ideas. This may be nerve wrecking for some and you run the risk of going over time or losing your place on the page, but it is the most engaging way to present.

VOICE

•CW: For poetry pieces do not use the “poetry” voice in which the final word in each line has a different tone. Use you natural reading voice and let the writing speak for itself.
•AW: Try to vary your tone to maintain interest in the work.
•Both:
1.Script in pauses and times when you wish to change the tone of your voice for effect.
2.The most sophisticated method for quoting is to change your vocal tone in order to indicate the change
3.If you are unable to change your voice you may use the air quotes or the “quote, unquote’ method, but try to use the change in voice if possible


INTRODUCTIONS

•Your moderator will either introduce all your panel at the beginning or right before you present
•CW: You may wish to give background about the process of writing or how you came up with the idea for the piece
•AW: You may want to disclose any information that is pertinent for your audience to understand your presentation
•Both: A good way to begin would be to ask the audience a question in order to gauge their attention.


HANDOUTS

•If you have quotes on a handout, pass out them out at beginning of your panel so the audience may follow you
•If your handout contains citations, wait until after you present to distribute


VISUAL AIDS

•Power point slides should be minimalistic
•DON'T READ YOUR POWERPOINT POINT SLIDES
•Use Power point for visuals guides, or charts

ATTIRE

•Dress appropriately, make conscious choices regarding how you dress
SIT or STAND
•Standing is better to make eye contact and best if you stand in front of table

COURTESY

•Pay attention to others on your panel. People in audience can see you
if you text or space out while others present

MUSIC/VIDEOS

•Include them if they fit and they can complement a creative piece.

PRACTICE

•When you practice, practice everything the way you would do it the day of the presentation. If you want to stand, practice, standing. If you have a power point, practice the timing with it.
•Practice having eye contact.

Q&A SESSION

•Each moderator is different, but the norm is to have everyone present and then have a Q&A for 15 minutes
•Suggestions for responding to a question:
1. “Oh that’s very interesting could you talk about that some more”
2. If you hadn’t thought of something, admit it and be generous and humble. Answer: “No, I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you. That’s a great idea”
3. Don’t let defensive or feel that you are under attack. The point of the conference is to have that give and take so you can improve your work
4. Preface your work with saying what you are unsure of it.
5. Ask the audience for advice.
6. Refer the questions to your fellow panel members.
