As a way of developing an active writing community at the university, the Office of Research and Innovation sponsors Writing Spaces. This series of monthly retreats welcomes faculty from all ranks and disciplines to write together in a collegial, focused environment. Each retreat includes accountability sessions, blocks of writing time, and a lunchtime workshop.
If you are interested in joining the Writing Spaces listserv or have questions about the retreats, please email Natalie_Houston@uml.edu or Jonathan_Silverman@uml.edu.
