THE 2014 TWSC WRITESHOP
28-30 May 2014
Third World Studies Center, Lower Ground Floor,
College of Social Sciences and Philosophy,
Palma Hall, University of the Philippines
Diliman, Quezon City
The Third World Studies Center (TWSC) extends this year's social science research workshop to cover the publication phase of academic research. Envisioning itself as a premiere social science research center of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, University of the Philippines-Diliman, TWSC develops critical, alternative paradigms to promote progressive scholarship by undertaking pioneering research and publishing original, empirically-grounded, and innovative studies. It is also committed to building the capacity of early career researchers and faculty members in the social sciences, hence, the third TWSC research and publication workshop--"The 2014 TWSC Writeshop."
The TWSC believes that if one is to commit to the changing zeitgeist/sociocultural agenda of research, s/he has to effectively contribute to the body of knowledge in her/his interest, to establish networks with scholars with similar research interests, and to obtain critique for the continuous improvement of one's research output. Thus, this year's workshop centers on: 1) researcher reflexivity and crafting of the problematique in the social sciences; 2) the contribution of research to knowledge production in the social sciences; 3) research ethics in the social sciences; 4) publication process; and 5) publication ethics.
