Workshops & Consultations
Throughout the year, the CFDE hosts and presents multiple workshops, presentations, and opportunities for individual consultations with key professionals in scholarly publishing, funding organizations, and other areas of expertise in research and scholarship.
These offerings are a powerful way to help get your work into publication and receive advice and feedback on your grant applications and book proposals. Watch this area of the website for dates and details for such events throughout the year.
Time to Think
Build a Sustainable Writing Practice & Make a Writing Plan for the Term
Webinar and Online Workshop
Aug 18: Build a Sustainable Writing Practice (Webinar)
Aug 20: Make Your Writing Plan for the Semester (Online Workshop)
Noon-1:30 PM both days
Sign up for one or both sessions!
Despite our best laid plans and intentions as the semester begins, carving out dedicated time to think and write can become increasingly challenging as the pace amps up. Competing pressures of teaching, service, and life in general can disrupt our efforts to build and sustain a healthy and productive practice for writing and thinking.
Session 1: we will explore ways not only to address the zeitgeist of our age – anxiety about time and space to maintain focus in a world full of distractions – but also to re-energize our intellectual work and reconnect with its intrinsic reward and pleasure. We will look at strategies for individual practice, for reaching out to your intellectual community, and for reinforcing a culture of mentoring that benefits all.
Session 2: we will put these strategies into action by making a plan for your writing in the fall semester, based on your priorities, goals, and time.
Presented by Allison Adams, Director, Scholarship and Research, CFDE.
The intended audience for this event is faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars.
