SUMMARY:Graduate Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The CWSC is pleased to announce the launch of its Graduate Writing Retreat\, a three-day event held in the beautiful historic core of UBC’s Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Any and all graduate writers enrolled at UBC are welcome to register free of charge\, whether they plan to work on a research article\, a master’s thesis\, a doctoral dissertation\, or any other piece of writing relevant to their studies. \nIn addition to catered lunch\, coffee\, and snacks\, the GWR will feature a number of pedagogical supports\, including an opening panel discussion between CWSC staff\, Writing Studies faculty\, and graduate students across the disciplines; writing consultations with CWSC staff and trained doctoral-student consultants; and self-reflexive writing practices such as goal-setting and reflection. Most of all\, the event offers a chance to write extensively in a relaxing\, contemplative\, and collegial setting. \nNote: Participants must commit to attending all three days (June 11\, 12 and 13) \nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\nJUNE 11\nJUNE 12\nJUNE 13\n\n\n\n\n10 am\nOpening Panel\nWriting Consultations\nWriting Consultations\n\n\n11 am – 1 pm\nWriting\nWriting\nWriting\n\n\n1 – 2 pm\nLunch\nLunch\nLunch\n\n\n2- 4 pm\n2:00 – 2:30 pm: Goal Setting \n2:30 – 4:00 pm: Writing\nWriting\nWriting\n\n\n4 – 4:30 pm\nReflection\nReflection\nSurvey and GPS Resources\n\n\n\nPANELLISTS\nPatty A.

As a Lecturer in Arts Studies in Research and Writing (ASRW)\, he draws on the concepts of writing situation\, genre\, and disciplinarity to challenge his students to embrace research and writing as social and political practices. \nEury Chang is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Theatre and Film. Prior to coming to UBC to embark on his dissertation\, he worked as a professional editor and writer in the non-profit sector. His academic articles and reviews can be found in journals (Theatre Research in Canada\, Canadian Literature) and anthologies published by Playwrights Canada Press\, the University of Wisconsin Press\, and Arsenal Pulp Press. \nTayo Olarewaju is a PhD student at Peter A.
