CILA provides opportunities for St. Olaf faculty to focus on their scholarly writing: to develop a work-in-progress, revise a conference presentation for publication, incorporate feedback before submitting an article to a refereed journal, polish a grant application, or perhaps revisit and revise a rejected manuscript.<\/p>\n

The Summer Writing Retreat<\/a> and January Writing Support<\/a> provide structured writing time in a distraction-free atmosphere among supportive colleagues and led by an expert facilitator, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Director of Writing, Diane LeBlanc<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Summer Writing Retreat<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"WritingModeled after the successful Boldt Writing Retreats, this week-long retreat in early June designed to help faculty transition to their summer writing projects which may include an article, a scholarly or creative book manuscript, a grant application, or other writing projects. The retreat, led by Director of Writing and Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies Diane LeBlanc, provides structured writing time and accountability among supportive colleagues. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 2021 CILA Summer Writing Retreat will take place during the week of <\/span>June 7-11, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm <\/b>and participants will meet daily through Zoom for guided discussion of writing habits, voice, proposal to publication steps, collaboration, and revision. We\u2019ll write together in our own spaces for at least 75 minutes every day, and support one another as we refine daily writing goals. Participants will receive a $250 stipend for full participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This opportunity is open to current St. Olaf faculty <\/span>f<\/span>rom all disciplines and Faculties, with preference given to<\/span> applicants who are at critical career points (e.g., tenure or promotion review)<\/span>. Participants are expected to engage fully by attending all five days of the retreat.
