Academic Writing in English at Doctoral Level: Presenting your Work to the World – Developing and Writing Texts for Presentation Formats.
This two-day workshop with Helen Palmer is designed to guide doctoral candidates in intermediate and more advanced stages of their projects in their academic writing and presentation, focusing on creating structured and concise content for effective delivery.
We will discuss the craft of academic writing and presenting your work with confidence to an audience. Through individual and group feedback, analysis, and discussion, doctoral students will gain skills and confidence in articulating and theorising their own work, developing a strong academic voice, and synthesising their work into conference paper and presentation formats.
Target group
Doctoral candidates who are already in intermediate and more advanced stages of their projects and who would like to refine their skills in developing and writing presentations.
