Telling the Story of Your Research in Academic Contexts

Students in academia frequently hear: “be aware of your audience,” “write for your reader.”

But how do you actually do this?

Join me for a deep dive into the issue of narration in academic writing. Let me help you understand the “plot” of academic research and how to tell the story of your research, regardless of your field. This workshop will enable you to make deliberate decisions about the use of:

·Active or passive voice

·First or third person

·Transitions

·“Signposting” (telling the reader what to expect)

·Tenses

Guided exercises will help you understand how to narrate your own projects using the conventions of your field.

Tell the story of your research with confidence and clarity.
