Summer Days Don’t Have to Mean Summer Daze: Channeling Energy into Summer Writing Projects
Presented by J. Michael Rifenburg
With summer coming soon, many academics are mentally building writing schedules to fill lazy summer days. But when June rolls around, we find ourselves staring aimlessly at a blinking cursor or hiding from our writing projects behind Netflix shows and pool time. This interactive presentation guides participants through several methods to build and sustain a productive summer writing schedule while still making time for important rest.

Making Good First Impressions: Writing a Title and Abstract
Presented by J. Michael Rifenburg
Admit it, you rarely read past the title and abstract when digging into the last academic journal in your field, right? Of course! You are busy and looking for material that connects with your teaching, your current research project, your current conference presentation you are putting together. We lean heavily on titles and abstracts as readers, but we also know, as writers, how challenging they can be to put together. This interactive presentation draws on titles from a variety of academic disciplines to offer basic principles that make for effective titles. The presentation then breaks down a selection of abstract, so participants leave with potential titles for their writing and the building blocks of abstracts.

Friday Writing Session: Saying What Others Have Said, So You Can Say What You Want to Say: Writing a Literature Review

Saying What Others Have Said, So You Can Say What You Want to Say: Writing a Literature Review
Presented by J. Michael Rifenburg
One of the more popular college writing textbooks is called “They Say / I Say.” The premise of this book is that all writers, from first-year students to full professors, ground their arguments in current arguments. No one writes in a vacuum. Academics use the phrase “literature review” to capture the “They Say” part of arguments. But while many of us know what a literature is supposed to do, actually writing a literature review is one of the more challenging parts of academic writing. This presentation covers common moves inherent in literature reviews across various disciplines. By pointing to examples and breaking apart these examples, participants arrive at a stronger sense of how to build an effective literature review.
