It's a moderate approach intended to gently interrupt old ways of doing things and establish new habits and orientations to writing the PhD.The book addresses the problems that most doctoral researchers experience at some time during their candidature being unclear about their contribution, feeling lost in the literature, feeling like an imposter, not knowing how to write with authority, wanting to edit rather than revise. Each chapter addresses a problem, suggests an alternative framing, and then offers strategies designed to address the real issue. Detox Your Writing is intended to be a companionable work book something doctoral researchers can use throughout their doctorate to ask questions about taken-for-granted ways of writing and reading, and to deTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Taylor & Francis Decentered Playwriting
Book SynopsisDecentered Playwriting investigates new and alternative strategies for dramatic writing that incorporate non-Western, Indigenous, and underrepresented storytelling techniques and traditions while deepening a creative practice that decenters hegemonic methods.A collection of short essays and exercises by leading teaching artists, playwrights, and academics in the fields of playwriting and dramaturgy, this book focuses on reimagining pedagogical techniques by introducing playwrights to new storytelling methods, traditions, and ways of studying, and teaching diverse narratological practices.This is a vital and invaluable book for anyone teaching or studying playwriting, dramatic structure, storytelling at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, or as part of their own professional practice.Trade Review"One of the great challenges for 21st century writers is how one forges one's own poetics to resist the 'realistic', well-made play, and the strictures of Aristotle and Stanislavski. How can we write for our communities and embrace the rich legacies of non-Aristotelian practice? What extraordinary conversations are gathered here in these pages."Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of How I Learned to Drive and Indecent, USA"This is the kind of playwriting education I wish that I would have had. It makes me excited for the next generation of theater makers who will emerge from studying this book."Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota), MacArthur Fellow and playwright of The Thanksgiving Play, USA"This book offers us a radically hopeful vision of how we might teach playwriting—and think about the well-making of plays—if we wish to disrupt the relationship between systems of oppression and systems of theatre-making."Megan Sandberg-Zakian, Artistic Director, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre and Boston University MFA Playwriting Program, USA"Decentered Playwriting represents an extraordinary gathering of diverse scholars and artists, all posing fundamental questions about how drama might be conceived and created above, beyond, and without the hegemony of Aristotelian thinking. The collection addresses a deeply felt pedagogical need that has been left untended for far too long, and in this respect promises to become an essential text in the teaching of playwriting and dramaturgy."Art Borreca, Associate Professor and Co-Director of Iowa Playwrights Workshop and MFA Programs in Playwriting & Dramaturgy, USA"Decentered Playwriting leaps over the anxiety and reductive thinking swirling around our 'diversity problem' by showing how much we all have to gain by decolonizing our craft. There’s no theater maker or theater educator in this country not wrestling in some way with these issues right now. This book offers a revelatory and practical vision of the way forward."Lisa Kron, Tony Award-winning lyricist of Fun Home, USA"An invaluable resource for those looking to depart from received ways of play-making, either in pursuit of new collaborative approaches or alternative forms of storytelling. This will be a useful guidebook for those venturing off the beaten path."Alex McLean, Zuppa Theatre, CanadaTable of ContentsPart 1: Decenter(Ed) Playwriting: Alternative Tools, Techniques, and Structures; 1.

Amsterdam University Press Survival Guide for Scientists: Writing - Presentation - Email
Book SynopsisDuring the course of Dutch physicist and Spinoza Prize-winner Ad Lagendijk’s long and influential career, he has published more than 300 articles, supervised over thirty doctoral dissertations, and given countless presentations and conference addresses. Over the years, his incisive consultations, tips, and rules for scientific study have proven themselves so beneficial to the emerging scientists under his watch that he has been inundated with requests for a written version. Aimed primarily at undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students, this essential guide presents Lagendijk’s practical how-to advice on topics such as writing scientific texts, presenting data and research information, and the writing and reading of collegial emails. Each section is organised by a collection of short rules, outlined and numbered in a logical order as selfexplanatory pieces of information – allowing the reader the freedom to study any number of them in any desired order. But it doesn’t stop there: many of the hints, in particular those referring to presentations, are of invaluable use for a much broader audience of professionals, up to consultants and (public) managers.
