ONLINE & PARTICIPATIVE: Research Proposals: How to get going, and keep going

 

About this workshop

This workshop is an introduction to proposal writing.  It aims to prepare and provide participants with the why, what, and how of proposal writing focusing on the aim, purpose, and process of generating an academic research proposal. The workshop aims to help students develop a good working title to focus their proposals.  The workshop includes three key tools for developing a first draft and ideas to keep going – clarity, conciseness, and coherence.  It will further aim to address genre, audience and purpose towards ideas for possible research questions.
