Academic Writing Workshop

Writing is an integral part of a doctoral study, yet it tends to be an individual endeavor that many doctoral researchers find challenging. In the writing workshops, I will assist participants in making their everyday writing practice productive and joyful. We will also investigate various genres related to research traditions and experiment with ways of representing research. The workshops will be hands-on, based on recent research on academic writing and take participants’ needs and interests as a point of departure. The workshops alternate between short introductions to theory and method, writing exercises, peer reflections and reflections in plenum. Due to limited time, there will be no possibility of individual guidance at this workshop.
