You are cordially invited to the workshop entitled Academic Writing, which will be hosted by

Dr Katja Castryck-Naumann from the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO),

as part of the NextGenPhDs NAWA STER project 

The workshop will take place on 9 April at 14.00 at The T. Manteuffel Institute of History Polish Academy of Sciences, room 32

(Rynek Starego Miasta 31, Warsaw)

The book review is an essential genre of academic writing and book reviewing is a core scholarly practice because research is, at its heart, a dialogue, an ongoing conversation between scholars working on the same or related topics. In this unit we will develop your reviewing skills by looking at how to write a book review. We will consider issues of ethics, style and content, as well as the challenge of increasingly interdisciplinary fields of research.
