Workshop "An Introduction to Writing Academic Arguments"

Most genres of academic writing in English involve making an argument, but figuring out what your argument really is can be one of the most challenging tasks of presenting your research. This workshop will present the theory of academic argument in an understandable and usable form and then take participants through the process of planning and structuring a piece of writing that will make an impact on readers. 

Tutor: Ashley Squires, Ph.D in English (University of Texas at Austin). Ashley is currently a Lecturer (Department of English) and an Associate Director of the Writing and Communications Center at New Economic School. Dr. Squires is also an author of a number of literary publications, primarily in Christian science, and an international expert in development of professional writing skills (writing the dissertation and publications).
