These sessions will provide an overview of Grad SLAM 2021, tips on how to get started, and strategies for connecting with past participants to learn from their experiences.
Interested in GradSLAM but not sure where to begin? Join a brainstorming session through the Writing Hub! We’ll talk about GradSLAM as a genre for research communication, analyze examples from prior years, and explore how you might talk about your own research in this forum. No RSVP required, drop in when you can, for as long as you can!
Coaching sessions are drop-in spaces for participants to work on their presentations, receive and give feedback on research talks, and build confidence as they prepare for Grad SLAM. Bring your slides!
Each of these workshops will explore useful strategies for connecting your highly-specialized research to more general audiences.
Grad SLAM participants can get ongoing, individualized support from the Graduate Writing Consultants at the Writing Hub. Writing Consultants can help you think through and articulate your ideas thoughtfully. Consultants are available for 30 and 60 minute one-on-one appointments, Sunday through Friday. Make an appointment at writinghub.ucsd.edu.
