Teacher's information

Potential participants should have a work-in-progress manuscript draft at the ready when enrolling in this course. Following several largely theoretical sessions, we will then focus on developing individual manuscripts, i.e. applying the theoretical insights in practice. Our motto for a majority of the course sessions will be learning by doing.
