SUMMARY:Writing the Op-Ed: An Instructional Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Public Humanities Hub and the Centre for Writing and 
 Scholarly Communication present a workshop on writing the op-ed. The op-ed 
 derives its name from traditional print media\, where the op-ed is 
 published on the page opposite the editorial. Hence\, the op-ed section of 
 the newspaper offers scholars opportunities to engage with new audiences 
 and new issues\, and to identify new purposes for writing in the 21st 
 century\, for example\, using a public forum to influence public policy or 
 judicial processes.\n    This evidence-based talk considers some of the 
 typical linguistic features and characteristics of this particular type of 
 text\, while paying attention to audience and place of publication. The 
 facilitators welcome questions and comments from participants throughout 
 the interactive talk\, whenever something sparks your interest.\n\nPlease 
 note that\, while this workshop is designed for scholars in the 
 humanities\, UBC scholars in any discipline are welcome and encouraged to 
 attend.\n\nRegistrants may also be interested in Faculty Perspectives on 
 Writing the Op-Ed\n\nFacilitators: Dr. Patty Kelly and Liam Monaghan\,
