Using Reflective Writing to Make Progress on Your Dissertation

Come explore the feelings and attitudes holding us back as writers and dissertators, and learn from research in several different areas about the benefits of reflective writing as a grounding exercise. In this workshop, we will do some reflective writing, discuss the themes that emerge from similar exercises, and learn to move past negative feedback on our writing to focus our productive energies on current strengths and future goals as writers, researchers, and scholars in the academy. This event is co-sponsored by the Writing Program and the Educational Resource Center.
