Writing and Scholarly Productivity During the Pandemic
Spring 2020
Now that Emory’s remote campus experience, social distancing, and staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually becoming the new normal, at least temporarily, you may be wondering whether and how your scholarly writing practice fits in.
In this 15-minute webinar, we will make our way through a framework designed help you decide what is possible for your scholarly productivity in this time, given the new and unprecedented levels of distraction and anxiety that may interfere. Then we will discuss ways of, at minimum, staying connected to your writing work so that you don’t completely lose momentum, and at best, re-establishing your practice and habits in this extraordinary time.
