LEADERSHIP LAB: The Craft of Writing Effectively

Writing for graduate scholars

This session, led by Larry McEnerney, Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program, is aimed at emerging scholars who want to sharpen their writing. It sets out rules, skills and resources for developing a more effective writing style during graduate study.

Who it suits

• Graduate students who want their writing to be more effective, not just technically sound
• Early-career researchers preparing papers or dissertations

Why it matters

The talk frames writing as a craft that graduate students are expected to develop, while noting that resources for doing so are often underused. Watching it is a good way to discover which writing support your institution already offers.
