The approach

Writing Designs delivers workshops which place writing at the centre of the research process (rather than treating it as a peripheral skill) in order to build vibrant research cultures.

Professor Kamler offers a unique hands-on approach to writing which provides a range of practical strategies and useful writing exercises. Participants work with rich examples, as well as excerpts of their own writing, to gain better control of a wide variety of academic and research writing tasks.

Professor Kamler’s approach delivers multiple benefits for universities, doctoral students, early career academics and supervisors.

Key benefits

For universities:

• Create infrastructure not simply for winning research grants, but for improving the quality of research outputs
• Improve the quality of research publications, thereby increasing the profile of the university

For doctoral students and early career academics:

• Enhance writing skills and build a sound strategy for writing from research
• Increase potential for achieving a ‘track record’ prior to completing a doctorate and/or during the early stages of one's career

For supervisors:

• Develop writing-centred doctoral supervision practices
• Create new strategies for providing better feedback on student writing
