Academic Writing for the Public

This workshop will guide you through the craft of writing engaging and intellectually serious articles for general readers. You will analyze public-facing academic writing, do writing exercises, and workshop an essay of your own. You will learn valuable skills in narrative, argument, presenting information, and pitching, so that when the public needs your expertise and insight, you will be ready. Open to Ph.D. students in the humanities.

If interested, please register and send a 500-word statement to Dr. Charles Wuest at cwuest@smu.edu. Statements should include a brief overview of your field of study and how this workshop may be useful to you and your career.

Registration only guarantees consideration of your application to the workshop. Once the committee has decided on admittance, based on applicants' submitted statements of research and interest, we will notify all applicants of their status.
