LOEX 2024

This presentation focuses on the collaboration between an English Studies research librarian and an English education university professor to create an online summer-long writing- and research-intensive workshop to support doctoral students in writing their dissertation proposals. This presentation will share the way the research librarian and professor created a structured and scaffolded approach to support doctoral research and writing using weekly meetings, one-on-one research consultations, tangible and customized writing and research goals, and continuous feedback. This session shares an adaptable model for collaboration between librarians and professors to mentor and support graduate students with high-stakes writing and research projects.

Participants will:

1. learn about designing pre- and post-surveys designed to gauge student workload expectations and writing efficacy.
2. develop an understanding of how to teach high-stakes written genres by breaking them into their component parts.
3. learn how to create digital file and folder systems for the support of doctoral student research consultations.
