Whether you are writing a research article, class assignment, conference abstract, or dissertation, your goal is for your text to “sound academic.” In this workshop, we will define “academic style” and analyze its features in different types of writing assignments. You will learn how to make effective stylistic choices that convey your ideas smoothly and clearly and express your individual academic identity, too. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions. Registration is required.
