RSVP Here for Zoom Link for this and all of the events in the series.
Marybeth Gasman has written or edited over 35 books, penned over 150 peer reviewed articles and 650 opinion articles for the nation’s newspapers and magazines, and in 2022 was listed as #32 on Education Week’s list of the Top 200 Most Influential Public Scholars. Yet one of her greatest contributions to academia has been the collective efforts that have allowed her to use her professional experience to the assistance and betterment of others. From raising over $23 million in grant funding for her students, mentees, and MSI partners, to serving on the board of trustees of The College Board and multiple HBCUs, to her proudest accomplishment – receiving the University of Pennsylvania’s Provost Award for Distinguished Ph.D. Teaching and Mentoring, for serving as the dissertation chair for over 80 doctoral students since 2000 – Marybeth does academia collaboratively. In this workshop, she will show you how working with others both within and outside your department and indeed beyond academia can improve your written work.

About the series:
In close collaboration with Princeton University Press, Princeton Writes, the Program for Community-Engaged Scholarship, and other partners, this GradFUTURES Learning Cohort will help you hone writing (and other communication) skills in order to connect your ideas with audiences that need to hear them. We’ll cover how to keep your writing clear, interesting, and relevant.
The series will feature online presentations and in-person, hands-on workshops. You’ll hear from nationally-recognized voices in a series of Zoom Lunch & Learns with Princeton University Press authors like Christopher Paul Harris, Jelani Favors, Marybeth Gasman, Joseph C. Ewoodzie, and Tara Dawson-McGuinness, and you’ll also connect with people and resources that will help you move from theory to practice. In the Spring, you’ll have the chance to earn a badge in public writing—while producing public-facing work of your own in a supportive, mentored environment.
