Drake faculty members are invited to participate in a Faculty Writing Group (FWG) focused on working effectively on our scholarship. We will meet from 11–12:30 monthly on Fridays. The FWG will be co-facilitated by Nate Holdren (LPS) and En Li (History). Our goal will be to help set ourselves up to make progress on our scholarship over the semester. We will read Joli Jensen’s book Write No Matter What and discuss it to the degree that participants find it useful. The session will also include discussion/workshop of the faculty members’ own scholarship and on-site writing time.

This writing group is generously supported by the Provost’s Office. There are spots for 10 faculty participants. Should more than 10 individuals express interest, priority shall be given to 1) Those who actively participated in the previous Faculty Writing Groups, 2) Tenure-track faculty who are not yet tenured, 3) Faculty who are members of groups under-represented.

Participants who attend all five sessions will receive a stipend of $150. Light lunches will be provided for four sessions (exclude the introductory meeting in August).

If you are interested in participating, fill out the interest form by the morning of Friday, August 23.

If you have questions, please contact the co-facilitators of the FWG, Nate Holdren (nate.holdren@drake.edu) and En Li (en.li@drake.edu).
