Stylish Academic Writing
28th Oct 2022 10:00am-12:00pm
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 clearly and in language that’s attractive to all interested readers. This online session is for students who aspire to write clearly and elegantly in their discipline and who would like to develop their style.
