Online writing Workshop:
Finding my ‘voice’: from other people’s ideas to my own text
Dr. Vera Leberecht | March 26th 2024 | 10:00 a.m. (s.t.) - 05:00 p.m. | Zoom-Link: t.b.a.
In academic writing, it is vital to make it clear what are your own ideas and where you refer to other authors’ ideas and work.
This practical, hands-on workshop for doctoral students and other novice research writers focuses on how to refer to, and work with other authors’ ideas, results and opinions correctly and appropriately.
You analyse published papers from your own field of research, to better understand how writers in your field incorporate other researchers’ aims, opinions, and findings in their texts. Using a step-by-step approach, you apply these insights to your own writing, and work on refining your own auctorial ‘voice’.
Contents:
- making the transition from reading to writing
- disciplinary conventions and characteristics: how to report your own and other people’s aims, findings, and opinions
- developing your own style and finding your own ‘voice’
