Overview of the Program Studies indicate that certain habits of scholarship have a strong impact on scholarly productivity. This workshop introduces faculty to this research and helps them take advantage of it. For example, studies show that faculty publish more when they set aside short blocks of time to write daily and seek feedback on early drafts. When one group of faculty at a large regional university was asked to keep records on how much time they normally spend writing, they discovered they wrote less than 30 minutes per week and published an average of 4 pages per person per year. By participating in this program, modeled after sound research-based principles, faculty can write more and worry less.
Enrollment is limited.
The 2-day writing workshop is led by Tara Gray, Ph.D., faculty member and faculty developer at New Mexico State University. Dr. Gray actively works to help faculty become more productive as writers. As a workshop leader, she is spirited and engaging.
