This workshop, designed and conducted by Dr. Craig Saper, will provide a springboard for students who may be struggling to get their scholarship on paper.

Instead of formal seminars and generalized, group-based programs, this workshop emphasizes a regular, informal, and ongoing exchange of feedback on an individual’s work and scholarly mentoring. 

Traditional writing workshops and activities addressed to graduate students mainly focus on the individualized one-to-one tutoring assistance which is, at times, the only moment in the writing process where the product is revised before submission. Although these activities satisfy the immediate needs of paper submission, it is important to consider that the essential foundation of scholarship is the process of constant peer-review and revise & resubmit.
