Doctoral Writing

Doctoral students were randomly assigned to a five-week (30-hour) faculty-led writing workshop (the intervention) or to a waitlist control group. After completing the workshop, students enjoyed writing more, found it easier, and had more confidence in themselves as writers. They were able to write productively in shorter blocks of time, and they engaged in more planning of their writing and research. The intervention also increased the frequency with which students paused for reflection or positive thinking, and it elicited more new writing from participants about their research, relative to controls. Effects were maintained in a peer-led writing maintenance group after the workshop ended. This workshop model can be used across disciplines to support doctoral students’ training in academic and scientific writing.

Workshop Model

“A Blossoming of Oranges” is a phenomenological response to two houses of criticism of the creative writing workshop model, the first of which positions the workshop model as a force for cultural hegemony, and the second of which identifies the workshop model as a causal factor for the deterioration of writing in America. This defense is presented in the form of theatrical vignettes, participant writing, and constructed conversations between participants, researcher, and critics. Major lines of criticism are explored, as well as the bodies of research on both the creative writing workshop model and the field of existential phenomenology, as they illuminate the workshop model as an aesthetic hermeneutic that may aid in the artistic development of individuals and the betterment of society.
