Planning Your Summer: Research and Writing in Uncertain Times

Hosted by the Office of Faculty Development
 
In this “hands-on” virtual workshop, experienced local writing consultant Cathy Luna will discuss the challenges of setting and accomplishing summer research and writing goals in the current context. Cathy will share a flexible planning process designed to help you identify obstacles and some strategies to meet them; set realistic goals and break them down into smaller, concrete tasks; and, develop an ongoing, self-compassionate practice of reviewing and revising your goals as your circumstances change. The session will end with a discussion of resources and support structures for summer research and writing. 

Presenter: Cathy Luna, PhD, Scholarly Writing Consultant - LunaWriting
