This workshop for graduate students will offer practical techniques and tips on how to approach long form writing projects, from the nuts and bolts of chapter or article organization to the daily work of crafting a life that balances academic scholarship with other duties. The workshop interrogates how to develop a sustainable relationship with academic writing that can serve you in your dissertation years and beyond. Participants will have the opportunity to workshop their own writing and schedules in small groups and are encouraged to come with an in-progress writing project in mind. Brief presentations by the speakers will be followed by a small group activity and larger Q&A.
