About this workshop

The 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 proposal. The workshop helps students develop a good working title to focus the proposal.  It expects to address genre, audience, and purpose towards brainstorming possible research questions.  The workshop includes three key tools for developing a first draft and to keep going – clarity, conciseness, and coherence.
