Previously, he directed the writing centers for the University of Georgia. He is the most recently elected chair of the STEM writing group for College Composition and Communication as well as a reviewer for the National Science Foundation.

摘要

One of the fundamentals of good communication happens to also be one of the least considered: narrative. Whether you are writing your dissertation, giving a brief technical report to investors, or communicating your research to other scientists, narrative is required. But what is narrative, and why does it matter? A simple way to consider narrative is to think of storytelling. For scientists, storytelling might seem childish and entirely out of place, but this isn’t the case. After all, how are you supposed to convince grant reviewers that your research into alternative forms of energy deserves to be funded? How do you connect the various chapters in a dissertation so that the work doesn’t read like five separate pieces? Through narrative! But it isn’t that simple; narrative has specific conventions and applications when it comes to academic writing—which can be particularly hard for Chinese scholars communicating in a world driven by American narrative. This presentation will introduce attendees to narrative and contextualize cultural differences. From there, attendees will learn how to incorporate narrative into their writing to better position the narratives in their own works. Such skills will improve writers’ abilities to connect with their audiences and will provide strategies to execute essential writing tasks, including writing introductions and topic sentences.
