Co-Authorship with Graduate Students: A Workshop for Faculty

(Virtual only)

Fall 2023

Facilitators: Justin Grimes and Monique Dufour

Do you collaborate with graduate students on writing projects such as papers or grants?

Then you know that we are deeply invested in our students' writing, from conception, literature review, and data collection to submission and publication. We want our students to learn to write and publish. We know students need strong writing skills to complete their degrees and thrive in their careers of choice. And our research programs may rely on our students' successful completion of their papers, theses, and dissertations.

It’s important and rewarding work. But it’s also time-consuming and often overwhelming. It seems like no one taught us how to do it well. So we act out of habit or replicate how we were taught. But we also wonder if there’s a better way.

We can help. Please click here to receive resources and updates for our upcoming 2-hour hands-on virtual workshop. There are three different packages (see more info below). Group rates are available for groups of 10 more, but email info.switllc@gmail.com for more information.

In this workshop, we will discuss common challenges and approaches to co-authoring with graduate students, and you’ll learn new, practical strategies for:

  • Teaching grading students how to conceive, advance, and finish collaborative writing projects

  • Managing your time

  • Managing your expectations

  • Teaching students how to read as a writer and apply what they learn to their writing

  • Giving efficient and practical feedback to students and teaching students how to apply that feedback

  • Understanding how inequitable systems shape the co-authorship experiences of students and faculty

  • Developing a comprehensive, equitable system for working with graduate student writers and approaching co-authorship as a pedagogical skill you can draw upon wisely.

Develop a sustainable writing practice of collaborative authorship, and teach your graduate students essential skills in professional communication.
