Drake faculty members are invited to participate in the Faculty Writers Workshop (FWW), a writing group focused on working effectively on our scholarship. We will meet from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. monthly on Fridays. The FWW 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 ten faculty participants. Should more than ten 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 the four sessions after the introductory meeting. (No lunch is provided at the first meeting.)

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the interest form by the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 28.

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