Journey with Contemporary Award-winning Writers from Around the World (January 28, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70649 70649-17611236@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 28, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In these sessions, participants will take a deeper look at how contemporary award-winning writers from around the world think and what concerns they have in today’s life. Do we, educated Americans, see our world in ways similar or different from the ways those writers see it? Let us look at the world through these perceptive eyes. Let us try to be Sinbads and enjoy a free flight of discovery on the magic these writers have woven for us. Join us and do not be afraid. Our first book for discussion on January 28, 2020 will be White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi. Instructor Salhi will lead monthly classes on Tuesdays (January 28, February 25, March 31, and April 28).

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

What kinds of arguments can you make with your scholarly writing, and how can you deploy previous work to shape and inform the writing work of your dissertation? This presentation assists graduate students in framing and positioning their writing relative to their fields, and addresses the kinds of structural and argumentative opportunities (and challenges!) the dissertation process offers, both in its discrete components and its cumulative effect. Refreshments will be provided.

Register on the Sweetland website after January 27th.
