The Op-Ed Project — recently featured by The New York Times — is an initiative to target and train women experts across the nation to project their voices on the op-ed pages of major newspapers and other key forums of public discourse, which are currently overwhelmingly dominated by male voices. Note: College students and young professionals have taken this course and been published on major national op-ed pages!

This seminar, led by Catherine Orenstein, is designed to help you identify the ideas and causes that you care about, and will show you how to write about them to make a difference. You’ll learn how to generate winning ideas, craft a powerful argument, use news hooks, address or preempt your potential critics, pitch an idea, and how to frame an issue to make your point, persuade your readers and establish yourself as part of a larger public conversation.

I have taken this class and it’s really excellent.
