NCFDD: From Project to Publication—the Art of Manuscript Revision

June 17, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

  • This event has passed.

Despite an ever-escalating emphasis on publication, few of us receive formal training in how to craft and revise our academic writing. From Project to Publication lays out an array of practices and frameworks that support academic writers in transforming a manuscript-in-process into a submitted article. Drawing on my work with NCFDD and my own research on how academics write, this multi-week course is designed to complement faculty members’ expertise in their own fields, and is open to scholars across the disciplines.

Across the weeks, I will guide participants through distinct stages of the revision process – from deepening an argument, to clarifying an under-represented perspective, to integrating feedback without losing sight of our own investments. Throughout, I emphasize inquiry as a creative process of engaging our sources, readers and selves as we strive to contribute to – and transform – our respective fields.

In Week 2, we will explore the construction of an original argument. I will discuss ways we can fully unfold our work’s implications, without over- or under-stating its promise.
