SHOT Summer Writing Workshop, Massachusett, 2004

罗莎琳德威廉姆斯，麻省理工学院“射击夏季写作工作坊“项目描述：这是一个试点项目，射击发展成为一个年度活动。讲习班将使参加者与经验丰富的写作教师聚集在一起。它还将包括与书籍和杂志编辑、科技记者和出版业代表的讨论。智力优势：讲习班的目的是提高参加者编写学术出版物和为广大公众写作的能力。这两个目标之间的精确平衡将取决于每个参与者的职业阶段和轨迹。 STS学术团体从未尝试过这样的项目，因此强调了这一建议的重要性。它将提高学者写作能力的总体水平;扩大对学者可利用的出版机会范围的认识;鼓励为广大公众和学术界读者撰写文章;发展一个非正式的同行编辑和辅导网络，多年来可以不断推动提高写作技能，并可以大大提高学术界的沟通能力和范围。 预计该讲习班将成为STS社区其他成员的典范。

Project AbstractSES 0408566Rosalind Williams, MIT"SHOT Summer Writing Workshop"Project Description: This is a pilot project for SHOT to develop into an annual event. The workshop will bring together participants with a staff of experienced writing teachers. It will also include discussions with book and magazine editors, science and technology journalists, and publishing industry representatives. Intellectual Merit: The purpose of the workshop is to improve the writing ability of the participants in preparing academic publications and also in writing for the larger public. The precise balance between these two goals will depend upon the career stage and trajectory of each participant. Such a project has never been attempted by an STS academic society, thus underscoring the importance of this proposal.Broader Impact: The workshop will have multiple benefits. It will improve the general level of writing ability among scholars; broaden awareness of the range of publication opportunities available to scholars; encourage writing for the larger public as well as for academic audiences; and develop an informal network of peer-to-peer editing and mentorship that over the years could provide ongoing motivation to improve writing skills and could significantly improve the communication abilities and range of academics. It is anticipated that this workshop will serve as a model for the rest of the STS community.
