DDGC Remote Write on Site

Note: the Fall 2020 DDGC Remote Write on Site is currently under development and once information is available will be announced below. To give you an idea of what the program entails, you can see below the structure for it for Summer 2020. 

Summer 2020 DDGC Remote Write on Site
The National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity encourages faculty to create a writing plan, outline goals for productivity, and commit to writing at least 30 minutes per day. These are excellent strategies, applicable to a variety of schedules including the quarter and semester systems.
 
In light of the challenges that the COVID-19 crisis has created, many faculty will be unable to pursue archival research, particularly because of travel restrictions. In addition, many of us are facing the uncertainty of the fall semester. Will contracts be renewed? Will classes meet face-to-face or remotely? Will we be asked again to pivot from one format to another? Many of us will likely devote extensive time and energy to pedagogical plans and course preparations because of these challenges. The DDGC Remote Write on Site aims to support and empower various research agendas and productivity pipelines in light of these challenges. It will offer a venue for reflection and deeper intellectual engagement.
 
This mini-retreat is conceived as two distinct 6-week sessions, which will take place via SLACK and ZOOM on Wednesdays from 11 am to 3 pm Central Time. Session 1 is just about to conclude, but there is still time to join us for session 2, which runs from July 1 through August 5. You are invited to participate in one or both sessions. To join, please follow this link. 
 
So how does this work?
  1. By June 29—post overview of project/writing/task goals for the 6-week session to SLACK channel
  2. Each Monday—post writing/task goal for the week’s session to SLACK channel
  3. Each Wednesday—log in to SLACK/ ZOOM at 11 am (ZOOM invitations will be communicated in advance): Following brief introductions and goal setting, we will break out into writing sessions. Several “coffee breaks” will be scheduled.
  4. Each Thursday—post a debriefing on the previous day’s writing sessions to SLACK channel
  5. Review remaining goals for the 6-week session and adjust accordingly

Total writing time each meeting= 180 minutes (minimum)
Total writing time for 6-week session = 1080 minutes (18 hours)
 
We encourage participants to commit to the entire 6-week session to see the best results. Contact Person: Carol Anne Costabile-Heming (University of North Texas).
