The Sociology of Education SIG will host a 90-minute Writing Workshop on Friday, October, 2nd 2020 aimed at supporting HDR students and ECRs with their publications. This workshop is designed to assist with improving the writing skills required for both thesis writing and publication. We will share best practices around academic writing, editing, revising and resubmitting journal articles as well as finding the most suitable journal in the field of sociology of education. It is expected the author should be working on a sole-authored publication during the workshop. The workshop will then be followed by some personalized feedback from each one of the four Sociology of Education SIG coordinators. Furthermore, the participants will have the opportunity to work with a professional proofreader before submitting to the journal of their choice.
The aim of this event is to promote dialogue around the issue of writing and to build capacity for HDR students and ECRs who may be struggling. This proposed workshop would enhance the profile and impact of Australian research in the sociology of education. It would also create additional opportunities for collaboration and strengthen networks among HDR candidates and ECRs who may be vulnerable in COVID times.
