Vanderbilt Ph.D. students are invited to register for one of two free half-day
workshops designed to help students make effective and productive use of their
writing time, work through writing blocks, and complete the writing project for
either the proposal or dissertation. Topics will include: effectively articulating
the point or central claim of one’s project, situating one’s work in the field,
creating a workable writing plan, and sustaining productivity.
Workshop leaders are faculty writing consultants and administrators of Vanderbilt’s
Writing Studio: Katherine Fusco, Ph.D., Jennifer Holt, Ph.D., and Gary Jaeger, Ph.D.
The Dissertation Writing Workshop will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
and the Proposal Writing Workshop will take place from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Preference for the Dissertation Writing Workshop will be given to Ph.D. students who
are at or near the writing stage of their dissertations, and preference for the
Proposal Writing Workshop will be given to students in the second or third years of
their Ph.D. programs. If you are selected to attend a workshop, you will be provided
with additional details, including the workshop location.
Registration for each workshop is limited to 75 Ph.D. students. To request a space
in one of the workshops, please follow the appropriate link and complete the
application survey before 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 6. Admission to the
workshops will be confirmed via email on Friday, October 9, 2009.
