Come and join us if you want to · get feedback on your work in progress, · learn about the work of your peers, · write a grant proposal, conference proposal, or book proposal, · enjoy the camaraderie of a supportive writing group. We will have six meetings during the spring semester 2015, share work in progress, learn from each other, share common readings, and work on conference and grant proposals. Gesa will also share her work in progress (time permitting) and sample proposals. The workshop will include a number of shared readings on feminist, rhetorical, ethical, and methodological research questions (depending on participants’ interests). Graduate students writing seminar papers, conference presentations, dissertation prospectuses, will be able to present their work to their peers. The workshop will conclude with culminating events, such as an interdisciplinary graduate student symposium.
