DESCRIPTION:Sign up\, show up\, and learn something new!The Craft of Clarit
 yHave you ever found yourself struggling to articulate your ideas? Have yo
 u ever said\, “I’m having a hard time explaining what I mean…”? Are your s
 entences often repetitive\, wordy\, or unclear? This workshop begins with 
 the assumption that we write because we have something to say. But how do 
 we get started when we’re still developing our idea or concept? And once t
 hat is clear\, how do we make sure we communicate and develop it clearly? 
 This workshop aims to provide you with tools to help you craft clear sente
 nces that say what you mean. Together\, we will untangle the assumption th
 at long\, wordy sentences are needed to convey profound ideas and examine 
 how we can better utilize grammar\, concision\, and cohesion to express ou
 rselves clearly.This workshop aims to teach you:How to get started\, and w
 hat to do when your concept isn’t clear to you yetHow to stop pre-conceive
 d notions of what writing should look like\, especially in an academic con
 text\, from getting in the way of the writing processWhy few words are alw
 ays best—and when to break this ruleHow to let the nature of the concept d
 etermine the structure of your argumentHow to build your concept across mu
 ltiple sentences and craft an effective paragraphThe raison d’être check: 
 why the answer to the “so what” question is essential to clarityInstructio
 ns: Please bring a concept you are attempting to develop\, or one you had 
 difficulty developing in a previous paper. This should be expressed in one
  to three sentences. If you’re really stuck\, bring a bullet-point list. T
 his can be on your laptop or on a sheet of paper. Be prepared to workshop 
 your ideas with your colleagues.Bio: Holly Vestad is an editor based on th
