Presenter: Dannelle Stevens, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, Portland State University

Learn a set of five research-based and time-tested writing strategies. Three strands of research undergird this work: writing productivity, critical reflection and the nature of academic writing.

In this one-hour audio conference designed for graduate students and faculty who seek specific ways to produce publishable academic writing, you will learn how to:

• Understand yourself as a writer
• Use valuable writing techniques like dialogue to generate new, creative ideas and connections among ideas
• Keep a professional journal for better organization and reflection
• Use appropriate academic discourse to speak the “language of the academy”
• Create a powerful, clear academic plan to map, organize and direct your future writing path
