Description
In this workshop you will consider ideas around writing purposefully in
academic life: what types of texts we write, why we write, who we write
for, and how we are expected to present this writing.  You will become
more aware of the expectations of academic readers and how you can
develop better writer-reader relationships.  To explore principles of
writing purposefully, which are the same for all writing – from texting
friends to producing academic dissertations – you will work on writing
emails.  This will also give you the opportunity to improve this key
academic skill.
