SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Practical to the Philosophical
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address time management strategies\, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.\n\nTime management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic\, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple\, and often competing\, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots\, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning)\, as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you\, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Reading Got to Do with It?: Reading to Support Writing in Graduate School
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address how you can read strategically to support your work as a writer in your academic field and discipline.\n\nWhat is the relationship between reading and writing for academic purposes? How can you read to support your work as a writer in your specific academic field and discipline? In this 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop\, you will discover answers to these questions through guided reflection on your current reading (and writing) practices\, as well as a hands-on introduction to specific reading strategies that support writing. You'll also leave with additional resources and ideas for how to continue to explore and develop the reading-writing connection in your own academic work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How to Make Revision Count: Revising Practices for Graduate Students
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will introduce new graduate students to revising practices to advance their academic writing.\n\nThe most critical phase in the writing process is also the most mysterious and least taught. Revision is especially challenging for first-year graduate writers learning to write extended academic arguments. What do academic writers do when they revise their work? How does an early draft become a polished\, publishable article? This workshop will demystify the role of revision in academic writing – to advance and refine our good ideas! – and provide strategies to help you build quality revision into your writing practice. You will expand your revising practices and elevate your writing skills for graduate school.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Editing and Style for Graduate Writers
DESCRIPTION:How can you catch grammatical or typographical errors before submitting your conference paper? How can you “sound” like yourself while maintaining a professional\, academic voice in your dissertation? In this workshop\, you will focus on applying editing strategies and stylistic choices in graduate writing. You will learn tips for editing your own writing and practice identifying common grammatical and typographical errors in writing samples. You will also explore the rhetorical effectiveness of stylistic elements commonly found in academic and professional writing and practice applying them to your own writing project. Writers should bring a current writing project to work on.\n\nPresented by Allie Piippo\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nZoom link available upon registration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What Is My “Academic” Voice?
DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to assist participants in realizing their writing voice and how it relates to academic conventions of formality and genre.\n\nDo you feel that your academic writing should “sound” a certain way? Have you been told to alter the way your thoughts show up on the page? Depending on the rhetorical situation\, audience\, and medium\, our writing voice adopts different formalities. During this workshop\, we’ll unpack how tone\, syntax\, and diction intertwine to encompass our individual writing style. We’ll begin by understanding your thought processes through presenting ideas in your own way\, then moving through exercises that will guide you through how to incorporate feedback while maintaining uniqueness and clarity.\n\nPresented by Chris Crowder\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required. See Links.\n\nRackham/Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Citations Beyond “Playing the Game:” Building a Robust Citation Policy
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, participants will bring a personal research project to assess or map out a citation policy that reflects their commitments and values.\n\nSara Ahmed tells us that “citations can be feminist bricks: they are the materials through which\, from which\, we create our dwellings.” Our citation policies “affec[t] the kind of house” in which we spend our intellectual lives (Living a Feminist Life 15). In this workshop\, participants begin by reflecting on their various commitments and values before engaging in a discussion of the shared reading. The session concludes with individual and collaborative workshop time targeting feasibility in their designs. Participants assess citations in a recent project to determine the extent to which they have used citations to build the kind of “dwelling” they want to occupy and explore options for further renovating. Alternatively\, participants may bring a project they have not yet researched fully in order to map a citation policy for that project.\n\nQualifiers: This is a workshop especially designed for those in the humanities\, social and applied sciences. Before the workshop\, we ask that you read an eight-page excerpt (sent to those who register) from Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life.\n\nPresented by April Conway and Laura Clapper\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required.
