    *November 6: Making Your Argument*

    What are the qualities of a great academic argument (or thesis)?
    What’s the difference between your research question and your
    argument? What are some strategies you can use for defining your
    argument? And how do you know if you’re communicating it clearly to
    your readers? Dr. Johanna Seasonwein, a professional editor and
    former university instructor, will lead this hands-on workshop on
    how to define your research question, how to uncover your argument,
    and how to communicate that argument clearly to your audience.
    Please bring something you are currently working on or have written
    for an academic audience to workshop with your peers.

    *November 20: Writing with Style*

    Good writers can write a grammatically correct sentence,
    but/great/writers craft their phrases with style and an authentic
    voice. Dr. Johanna Seasonwein, a professional editor and former
    university instructor, will share tips for writing interesting,
    engaging prose for an academic audience. We will talk about our
    reading audience and why it’s important to write with them in mind.
    We will discuss the twin demons of academic writing—the passive
    voice and jargon—and why they are to be avoided at (almost) all
    costs. And we will practice editing sample texts for as a way to
    refine our own writing skills.
