Workshop "Where is the Author in This Text?"

Research writing is often considered to be “neutral” or “impersonal,” but in fact analysis of published texts shows that writers use a variety of strategies to engage with their readers, to express their own attitudes about their subject matter, and to establish authority and credibility. In this workshop, we will examine some of these strategies and consider how they might be employed in different genres and disciplines. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for establishing an “authorial presence” in their research writing.
