The Center for American Studies would like to invite you to participate in an intense weekend course with an American native speaker & scholar, James M. Donovan (Director of the University of Kentucky College of Law Alvin E. Evans Law Library) titled „Presenting at Conferences & Publishing Research Made Easy”.
There are two skills every scholar needs to master: presenting and publishing.
While presenting at conferences is a verbal skill and publishing relies on writing skills, they are two sides of the same coin: academic communication, i.e., presenting our research to the academic world.
The first part of the course will be dedicated to the most important types of publications and fast & effective methods of writing each of them.
During the second part of the course, you will learn how to speak like a professional scholar at the most prestigious domestic and international conferences.
On top of that, volunteers will be engaged in useful practical exercises!
The course takes place on October 25-26 (Friday-Saturday), 2024 on Zoom.
Professor Donovan will be connecting with us in real-time from the United States.
Because the course is led by an open-minded interdisciplinary American scholar – James Donovan – which is a guarantee of the course being ideal to all academics, regardless of discipline.
Moreover, the course is synchronous. The instructor will make every effort to make the course intuitive and understandable to non-native English speakers. Any doubts and complicated terms will be clarified in real time during the course.
