This working group builds a supportive and critical space for humanities scholars across various disciplines, at all stages of their careers, to write, read, and learn together about public writing. As academics pressured by the demands of research productivity, there are very few opportunities to slow down and focus on one of the essential tools of our trade – good, engaging writing. Even though focusing on the craft of writing is something extremely valuable, institutional structures hardly allow for this type of engagement to occur even though it is expected of us, as researchers, to communicate with a broader public. Our group carves out a space for sustained and supported writing to occur through two main activities: workshops and regular writing sessions. To request to join the group, email the group lead linked in the list.
