As the semester comes to a close I want to make you aware of an event that our department is co-sponsoring with the Nebraska Honors program and UNL Libraries entitled Writing to Learn and Learning to Write: Social Justice and Poverty in Lincoln (see the attached flyer). This half day writing workshop will be held on January 21, Martin Luther King Jr Day, from 12:30-6pm. As a part of this program, students will participate in a 2-hour Poverty Simulation put on by Leadership Lincoln and will learn how to move from observation of a social problem to identifying a research interest that explores that problem to formulating research questions. Students will learn the basics of identifying relevant and credible sources using library databases, Google Scholar, and common search engines. Students will also learn how to approach writing and structuring a literature review.
This workshop is open to all undergraduate students, so you need not be a part of the Honors Program to sign up. Seats are limited, so if you're interested, sign up here: https://honorsregistration.unl.edu/default.aspx
