Fall dissertation writing workshops

The University of Iowa Writing Center is hosting two workshops to help graduate students with their dissertation writing, starting the third week of the semester.

The first group will meet at 7 p.m. Mondays, the second at 9:30 a.m. Tuesdays. Weekly meetings will focus on goal-setting, style, organization of chapters, time management, and other concerns of group members. The meetings will include peer feedback and brainstorming. The Writing Center mentor will facilitate the meetings and provide feedback on participants' writing.

For more information, contact the Writing Center at writing-center@uiowa.edu .  Please include the following information in your e-mail: discipline, stage in dissertation, and reasons for wishing to join the workshop.  Preference will be given to those with clearly defined projects in the humanities and social sciences, which are areas of expertise for the mentors who will lead the groups.
