There will be a faculty writing group this summer — please let us know if you’d like to join!
We've been approached by faculty members interested in a humanities-focused writing group for faculty. Ideally, the group would meet twice per month and would provide an opportunity to share work in
progress and to engage in intellectual discussion around each member's project(s). Please email me if you would be interested in participating: [log in to unmask]
