[csaa-forum] Writing Cultural Studies Papers, and more

[Danny Butt]

Hope yr all having fun in Perth!

This is a little late, but for those that don't follow Terri Senft (an NYU
grad with an excellent site), she's just posted a whole bunch of stuff
that's going to interest many of you for teaching and learning purposes. The
guide to writing CS papers is a very useful document that covers almost all
of the things I've ever put into handouts on writing, only much more
succinctly. Share the wealth.

but how the hell do I get out of the field ?" (Octavia E. Butler, _Dawn_)
