Extended Underway Seminar for PhD-Fellows at ISK
This extended underway seminar for fellows at ISK takes the form of an “away day” for shared silent co-working peppered with shared activities. Its purpose is to offer a supportive environment for setting one or more goals for the day and for independent, concentrated work, whether reading, writing, or working on analysis. We will discuss an article about academic writing, and our Ph.D. coach, Nina Nørgaard, will join us for an informal roundtable during lunch.

Preparation:

- Read and reflect on the article, “Why Academic Writing Stinks and How to Fix It”. How do Pinker’s assertions about writing resonate with your own practice? Which points can you use, which might you reject? (Article is sent to participants.)
- Prepare thoughts and questions for the roundtable with Nina Nørgaard by considering your well-being as a Ph.D. fellow, including what challenges you might be facing with respect to motivation, stress, worries and anything else on your mind.
