Special Interest Group (SIG) for PhD-level Writing Teachers and Researchers

 

At IFAW, we understand the pivotal role that skilled writing and research abilities play in the success of aspiring scholars. Our aim is to create a collaborative and supportive community where those of us who are deeply committed to enhancing PhD-level writing instruction and research practices, can come together to exchange ideas, share expertise, and promote innovation in this vital domain.

 

The objectives of our SIG are as follows:

 

1. Knowledge Exchange: Facilitate the exchange of ideas, best practices, and resources related to teaching and researching academic writing at the doctoral level.

 

2. Research Collaboration: Foster opportunities for collaborative research projects that explore effective approaches to PhD-level writing instruction, assessment, and support.

 

3. Professional Development: Organize workshops, webinars, and seminars led by distinguished experts to enhance the skills and knowledge of SIG members.

 

4. Networking and Mentorship: Provide a platform for networking with peers and mentors to build meaningful professional relationships.

 

5. Advocacy: Advocate for the recognition of the importance of doctoral writing pedagogy and research within academic institutions.
