The second in the three-part "Rock Your Thesis" series, this workshop will equip you with the skills you need to start writing a large academic writing project like a thesis, dissertation or dissertation proposal. 

Through structured activities, peer dialogue, and reflective writing, participants will build strategies to negotiate academic expectations while sustaining their own voices and identities as writers.

This 5-week workshop series integrates practical revision tools with antiracist and decolonial perspectives on writing. Drawing on Felicia Rose Chavez’s The Antiracist Writing Workshop, the program treats academic writing as a cultural practice shaped by power, rhetorical traditions, and linguistic diversity.
