Ten themes are covered, each with a 4-5 page white paper followed by a short bibliographic list. The seminar will cover each theme individually. Students will be expected to read all of the literature on the Web site, and expand their reading in one theme. They will read and critique other students' work, and contribute to clas s discussions. They will contribute to the Motet virtual seminar conference site, and to permit their written work and Motet discussions to be published on the Web.
Abstracts are due on the day the theme is discussed.
The full seminar paper should be of a quality suitable for submission to a journal or conference proceedings, or for submission as part of a ma ster's thesis or dissertation. Complete drafts are due 20 March and will be distributed to faculty at other virtual seminar sites for comment and critique.
