Public Writing - Turning an Academic Paper into a Blogpost

Waterloo Centre for German Studies

A webinar on how to communicate  your research beyond the seminar room or conference hall.

3 June 2020: This event is currently at capacity. But we've added a waitlist - please sign up for it so that we have your contact information. The organizers are discussing how to accommodate more people, and once we've come up with a plan we'll communicate it to you. You can access the waitlist by clicking on the green register button.

Graduate students do a lot of academic writing within their disciplines, be it journal articles, conference presentations, or seminar papers. But what if you’d like to communicate your findings to an audience beyond your peers or professors? Come to this workshop with a piece of academic writing you'd like to turn into a blog, and we'll take you through the first steps to help you kickstart the process. We’ll examine how to turn academic writing into a blogpost which can then serve as the basis for various kinds of public-facing communications. The webinar itself will include time for you to work on revising an academic paper for a more public purpose, so come with a seminar essay, conference paper, or other piece of academic writing you'd like to work on.The webinar's technical details (e.g. how to log on to the webinar) will be sent to you about a week before the webinar. At that time you'll also receive information on how to prepare for the webinar.If you have any questions, please get in touch with us: wcgs@uwaterloo.ca
