Events
This workshop is designed for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in methods for writing papers and reports. Using Western artworks as examples, participants will have hands-on experience with the method known as “description”.
“Description” refers to succinctly and objectively explaining the subject or phenomenon under consideration, typically at the beginning of an academic paper.
Although the workshop content will focus on art history, the method is applicable to a wide range of fields in the humanities and social sciences. We welcome participants from diverse academic backgrounds.
