Writing Op-Eds: In-Person Workshop
October 2, 2024 - 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Add your social justice voice to the political conversation. Or get a jump on a course assignment. Or do both.
Join Writing Skills Coordinator Betsy Williams for an interactive in-person writing workshop on Writing Op-Eds.
We will start with a brief presentation covering audience and purpose, and the content and shape of an op-ed. Next, we will break into small groups to brainstorm ideas and provide feedback on drafts.
Bring what you have: ideas, a title, an outline, a draft. If you have a draft or outline, please bring at least two printed copies for peer feedback. If you just want an overview of op-eds, you are absolutely invited, and can choose whether to stay for the brainstorming session. (But we hope you will leave inspired to add your voice to the public conversation.)
All members of the SSW community are welcome. Feel free to bring your lunch - and some ice cream from the Global Social Work Poster Fair.
