Workshop on scholarly productivity at Smith College 10/7

If there is enough interest in this faculty development opportunity, we will coordinate a carpool. For more information, please contact Jim Ralph at adeans@middlebury.edu. Original invitation below.

Dear Colleagues,

Faculty members at your institutions and their partners interested in increasing their scholarly productivity are invited to attend a workshop by Helen Sword entitled “Habits of Highly Productive Writers.”  Helen Sword, author of Stylish Academic Writing, has surveyed more than one thousand academics from across the disciplines and around the world to find out about their professional formation as writers, their daily work habits, and their habits of mind. In this interactive workshop, she will offer a smorgasbord of evidence-based strategies for colleagues who aspire to write more confidently, stylishly, engagingly, daringly, or simply more prolifically.  A PDF flyer with details is attached.

This workshop is sponsored by Five Colleges, Inc., the Academic Career Network, the Smith College Provost, and the Smith College Sherrerd Center for Teaching and Learning.

RSVP by 10/8 to Christine Pelletier.

Best wishes,
Floyd Cheung
