Please join the Center for Gender and Sexuality for our next session of “Behind the Publication,” a behind-the-scenes workshop series on faculty research in gender and sexuality.

The series continues this semester with Dr. Stephanie Hartwell, professor of sociology and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dr. Hartwell conducts both large and small-scale research and evaluation projects focusing on transitions from institutions to the community with emphasis on vulnerable populations, including formerly incarcerated persons released from corrections and victims of gun violence with mental health and substance abuse issues. For this talk, Dr. Hartwell will share from her experience writing, “A Prison to Higher Ed Pipeline: The Education Transition Coordination Program.”

About the series

The central goal of this series is to offer graduate and undergraduate students a series of informal workshops where faculty encourage and demystify research by sharing their own experiences. We invite WSU faculty members to share a little about the genesis of their current or recent research. We ask them to discuss the joys and frustrations of the project; to elaborate on the decisions around the scope of the work; to assess methodological questions; to discuss writing practices; to highlight the importance of colleagues, librarians, friends, and other interlocutors more generally for their work; and to offer tips and strategies to help students through their own projects.
