Webinar: Accessible Scholarly Writing

Tuesday, April 22, 2025, NOON

Via Zoom (link provided after registration)

Presented by Allison Adams, Director, Scholarship and Research Programs, Center for Faculty Development and Excellence

Now more than ever, academic writers need to demonstrate the power and relevance of their work to readers beyond their small circle of close peers. In this webinar, we will look at evidence that supports the use of accessible language in scholarly writing and why it makes your scholarship more effective and impactful. Then we will explore some basic techniques to help you bring your work to life in your writing, and as we do so, go over a few examples. Finally, we will try our hand at revising some small samples of scholarly writing to make them more accessible.
