Final Prompt: Abstract for the work to come

As we've discussed, we would like you to compose an abstract for work inspired by the work you've done and the readings you've encountered this semester. This could be a conference paper, play, publishable essay, chapter in an edited collection, some form of digital expression, etc.

Consider this a document that is meant to persuade an advisor, a conference organizer, or a granting organization, to select your project. There are guidelines for this genre widely available on the net; you might want to consult them, but mainly we are interested to see a clear articulation of your object of study, your method of studying it, and how you are intervening in your field or discipline. Creative writers should follow the protocols of creative abstracts (but what you will be talking about and how you will be talking about it are clearly still important).

Please restrict your abstract to 300 words or fewer.

These must be posted by noon on Monday to give us all time to read them prior to Tuesday's class.
