Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

Who Are You Talking To?: Identifying and Responding To Your Interlocutors

This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments.

Interlocutors are those you engage with in your research and writing; they may appear (re: be valued) differently across disciplines. This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments. Participants will work with peers to talk through rhetorical decisions scholars make when identifying and responding to interlocutors and set goals of how to use the workshop experience in their own graduate writing careers.
