The PWDDS addresses common concerns arising in the process of preparing the dissertation proposal, and in writing the dissertation itself. The Seminar is divided into two parallel tracks, one for Fellows focusing on the proposal, and a second for the more senior group, focusing on the dissertation. The Seminar schedule includes a considerable amount of time for writing, focus on the individual project in small group sessions, one-on-one consultations with Mellon faculty mentors, and training in the practice of collegial critique.
