Dissertation Writing Groups
Winter 2018
Please forward to interested graduate students.
In collaboration with the Rackham Graduate School, the Sweetland Center for Writing coordinates several student-led writing groups for graduate students writing their dissertations. These interdisciplinary writing groups provide structured support in a facilitated peer-based setting to aid dissertators working through long-term projects. Dissertation Writing Groups typically consist of four – five members including a group leader. Participants must be in the writing phase of their dissertations and available to meet at least eight times per semester to workshop group members’ writing on a rotating basis. Each group will determine meeting schedules and expectations.
Group leaders will receive a stipend for their services, and those interested in becoming group leaders must provide additional information with their applications. All accepted students participate in an orientation session on Monday, January 15, at 4:30 pm in North Quad room 2435. Group leaders attend mentor meetings through the term.
Applications must be submitted online by Monday, December 4, 2017. You can access the application by clicking here.
Application can also be found on the Sweetland website.
