The Retreat
The WriteOut! Dissertation Writing Retreat is a future faculty development program that helps graduate students create a writing practice that is both fulfilling and productive. It is designed for UIC students who are conducting research on race or ethnicity who are interested in and dedicated to building a lasting writing practice.
The transition from structured coursework and exams to unstructured, independent research is a difficult one for any student. For those who study marginalized topics or are themselves members of a marginalized group, this transition can be even more difficult. When they find themselves at the dissertation stage, many students feel lost, alone, and unsure how to complete their projects.
