Stylish Academic Writing 

1st Dec 2020 9:30am-11:00am 

To attend this course please book on Inkpath. Inkpath is an app available to all Techne students, if you're not already using please click here to find out how to get started.

Academic writing doesn't have to be turgid prose that is agony to read (and to write). Complex ideas and abstract concepts can be expressed in simple language that anyone can understand. This session is for students who aspire to write clearly and elegantly in their discipline and who would like to improve their style.

A 90minute Zoom workshop is followed by 6 one-to-one consultation slots, bookable in advance on a first come, first served basis. Information about how to sign up for one-to-one slots will be sent to participants in the run up to the workshop.

This workshop will be run by Anne Wilson. Anne has a background in journalism (features) and corporate communication (scripts, speeches, screen media copy), combining her writing with facilitating writing workshops in HE. She was Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Brunel University for three years, and now runs workshops on academic writing and professional communication for postgraduates and staff at Brunel and other universities. She also coaches students for the 3MT competition (won by Brunel in 2017). She has recently collaborated with the Brunel Occupational Therapy department to investigate what kind of feedback helps students to improve their academic writing.
