Come join our tri-campus online writing group for trans faculty, staff, and graduate students who work across the University of Washington system as part of the\u00a0Imagining Trans Futures<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>crossdisciplinary research group, funded by the Simpson Center. Whether you\u2019re working on your book, a journal article, dissertation, or a creative project, this group will provide community and accountability for trans scholars in the UW system. All trans scholars are welcome to join, no matter their disciplinary background.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Imagining Trans Futures<\/b><\/a>\u00a0crossdisciplinary research group works to support trans scholars in their research and writing and to bring trans studies scholars to the UW community through a speaker series open to the public. The aim of this group is to support trans academics around one of the most challenging parts of academic work–writing and publishing their research. We\u2019ll gather for a two-hour monthly session online during the 2020-2021 academic year (beginning in November 2020, in conjunction with our visiting guest) where we\u2019ll set research goals, write together, and support one another. Connected to the speaker series, the group will also meet with our visiting speakers once a quarter to discuss their experiences in academic and creative publishing as well as navigating academia as trans scholars. Through our Simpson Center funding, we can provide copies of the books from upcoming speakers in the Imagining Trans Futures speaker series for at least the first five writing group members to use in our group discussions. Each meeting will have a dedicated portion of time for working and writing together, so you can make consistent progress on your project. Meeting times for the writing group will be based on the availability of participants.<\/p>\n If you are interested in participating, please fill out\u00a0this form<\/a><\/b>\u00a0by\u00a0October 15.<\/b><\/p>\n If you have any questions, please reach out to Neil Simpkins (nfsimp@uw.edu<\/a>) or Ching-In Chen (chingin@uw.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Building Community: A Writing Group for Trans Scholars Come join our tri-campus online writing group for trans faculty, staff, and graduate students who work across the University of Washington system as part of the\u00a0Imagining Trans Futures\u00a0crossdisciplinary research group, funded by the Simpson Center.
