2018-2019 Write Now Academy Participants
Posted: August 17, 2018 by Michael Rifenburg
At the beginning of a semester, students read over their syllabi and begin planning out the many learning activities that will contribute to their learning. Scheduling—especially at the start a semester—is key.
So, too, for faculty.
Starting the first week of classes, 14 faculty in Dahlonega and Gainesville will begin the 12-week long Write Now Academy. Using Wendy Belcher's Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks to structure their academic writing activities and processes, these faculty will meet in-person four times during the 12 weeks and use a shared Google doc to keep track of their weekly progress.
Participating faculty include:
- Katherine Adams
- Chris Bell
- Judith Brauer
- Diana Chang
- Autumn Cockrell-Abdullah
- Sarah Hinkel-Young
- Jennifer Jones
- Sabrina Maginnis
- Esther Morgan-Ellis
- David Osmond
- James Stewart
- Alina Thurman
- Michael Tuvlin
- Juanita Woods
Michael Rifenburg will oversee the Academy with Abby Meyer co-facilitating on the Dahlonega and Paul Raptis co-facilitating on the Gainesville campus. In the Spring, Derek Thiess will run a Write Now Academy on the Oconee campus.
Last academic year, close to thirty faculty participated in the Academy across four campuses. Two faculty have already seen their work published.
