PA5934: HPAR - Humphrey Public Affairs Review Board Seminar
1.5 Credits
This course provides a seminar context for the work of members of the editorial board for the Humphrey Public Affairs Review (HPAR). It meets seven times over the course of Fall semester to provide logistical and technical guidance for the Board as it produces the online journal. Students engage in the various activities required to publish the journal. In the beginning of the semester, students conduct outreach to solicit submissions and discuss the selection criteria for submissions. They work closely with the conventions of APA style and citations, while developing their copyediting abilities. Central to journal production is engaging with the peer-review process, through providing feedback to authors and discussing critiques with editing teams. Finally, students submit their own pieces of writing to the journal for publication. As a result, students participate in peer-review as both an editor and an author.
