About the Workshop
The OSEA Ethnography Writer’s Workshop is a unique opportunity
for sustained and engaged reading, editing and constructive commentary
on your writing by colleagues and experts dedicated to helping you
realize your publication goals in a small group setting. Each participant
brings to the workshop their own project and the goal of producing
a publishable manuscript as a journal article, book chapter, conference
presentation, research proposal, report, or other similar product.
Participants reside in the OSEA Miraflores Research Center where
they are provided accommodations for writing and holding small seminars.
Seminars are designed as forums for each participant to present
their writing project to the group in order to exchange ideas and
to receive constructive commentary. The seminars and group forums
encourage the development of personal, individual exchange between
participants.
