"I really do write more if I schedule time for it!"
Looking for dedicated time and space to write this semester? CAFE is pleased to announce that applications are being accepted for the Faculty Writing Initiative, which is designed to support faculty in achieving their academic and creative goals through work on writing projects of any kind—such as grant applications, book chapters, articles, essays, creative work, conference presentations, etc.
Starting in the second week of classes, FWI offers weekly online sessions via Zoom every Tuesday or Friday morning. Kick-start each session with goal setting, make steady progress on your writing projects, and wrap up with useful strategy discussions. This is your chance to enjoy structured, communal writing with peers across all faculty ranks. Don't miss the camaraderie and support—apply online before the semester begins!
Facilitators for the Faculty Writing Initiative will be Dr. Antonio Byrd, Assistant Professor of English and Dr. Jane Greer, Curators’ Distinguished Teaching Professor of English and Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. Both Drs. Byrd and Greer focus their research and scholarship on Writing Studies and Rhetoric and have enjoyed considerable success as writers as well as their fair share of writerly frustrations, anxieties, and disappointments. They have both participated in a variety of initiatives and workshops designed to support faculty writing, and they are eager to write with other faculty.
If you have any questions, please email Dr. Byrd or Dr. Greer.
