Talk / Writing Workshop: “Why Writing is Hard, And What to Do About It” with Prof. Eric Hayot (Distinguished Prof. of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies, Penn State)

In this talk and workshop, we’ll go over some of the basic reasons why writing at the graduate and professional levels is so difficult. We’ll cover material from Elements of Academic Style, and focus on two particular areas of interest: the Uneven U, and how to produce dynamic amplitude in your writing.

The session will begin with a 30-minute talk, followed by a 15-minute exercise, and will conclude with time for questions and conversation.
