Dr Deaf Spring Writing Retreat<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Are you a deaf researcher working on a writing project? Could you benefit from a retreat where you can write alongside other deaf academics, participate in peer feedback sessions, and exchange tips and strategies on writing?<\/span><\/p>\n

This Writing Retreat is a deaf-centered space for you to work on your writing project alongside other deaf academics. There will be one optional workshop or lecture each day, as well as social time and wellness activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Writing Retreat is aimed at deaf academics working on independent writing projects such as PhD dissertations, academic articles, or books. This includes working academics, PhD students, and independent scholars. Master\u2019s students may be admitted if space is available, but are encouraged to consider the PhD workshop first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus:<\/b> Writing alongside other deaf academics in a tranquil spring mountain landscape!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
