Overview of the WIP Workshop

The Works-In-Progress Workshop aims to cultivate a collaborative space for RESI Graduate Student Affiliates. During this 1-day in-person workshop, selected students present their works in progress and receive constructive feedback from a variety of sources (affiliated faculty, graduate students, and the greater Texas A&M community). To continue the advancement of manuscripts, this workshop is then followed by a tailored Writing Studio session with the A&M University Writing Center.

Projects submitted may cover a wide range of research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods, policy analysis and evaluation, and transition of research into practice. Manuscripts must include race and/or ethnicity as a central focus. Students will be notified if their in-progress manuscript is accepted into the workshop approximately one week after the application deadline.

Dates to Keep in Mind

• The deadline to submit applications for consideration is February 10.
• Full work-in-progress manuscript to be submitted by March 3.
• The workshop is scheduled for April 11.
• Participants may select from a variety of dates in April for their Writing Studio.

Participant Expectations

Participants must be in attendance the entire length of the workshop, during which they will present their WIP manuscript (no longer than 15 minutes).

After the workshop, participants will attend a Writing Studio session with the University Writing Center to continue the advancement of their manuscript.
