Rackham/Sweetland Workshops on Writing - Winter 2026

This workshop offers practical strategies for reading, writing, and revising academic texts while identifying transferable patterns across disciplinary genres. 

Graduate students are required to navigate a range of academic writing conventions, genres, expectations, and audiences. This workshop will help graduate student writers identify critical strategies for reading and writing academic texts. We’ll talk about how to approach unfamiliar writing tasks, develop drafting and revision practices, and identify patterns across all disciplinary forms of academic writing. The workshop will conclude by identifying our learning goals and developing best methods for achieving them.
