IMPORTANT
Dresher Center Research Writing Bootcamp
Monday, July 10, 2023 - Friday, July 21, 2023 · All Day
The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites you to participate in a summer research writing
bootcamp. This workshop will be available as a hybrid or fully online experience.
July 10-21, 2023
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
10am to 12pm
PAHB 216 and Online via WebEx
This bootcamp is designed to help you make time for writing and reflection and to find a group
of liked-minded writers who can help you keep the momentum going. Participants will gather in
person or virtually with other CAHSS faculty and advanced graduate students who are eager to
move forward this summer with their research-related writing (books, articles, dissertations,
statements, grants, proposals, artist’s statements, etc.).
The opening session will be a hybrid workshop to discuss our roles as writers and share
strategies for managing our work and creating a writing community. After that session, the
bootcamp will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10 AM for 2 hours of cohort-based
discussion of the writing process, shared reflection on your own writing, and just writing
together. You are welcome to come into the Dresher Center conference room for those
sessions or join via WebEx from home. Drop in or out as your schedule permits, but you must
register in advance and check in at least twice. Consultations with Rachel Brubaker about
applications for external funding support may also be arranged.
