#acwri — Public Fediverse posts

I wrote 1600 words of my 1000 words today, which means there's significant cutting in my future. But at least I made wordcount!

I🧡Laurel Richardson's approach to academic writing generally and this, specifically, because of the focus on writer agency, choice, & the complexities of referring to the 'world' (or REALITY).

Publishing a 6-prompt exchange with a free #GPT on 'what makes writing academic' to highlight its contradictions, the paucity of the scholarly resources it's trained on and how it doesn't answer the question.

Is there an authoritative peer reviewed & referenced #OpenAccess dictionary of #tleap (Teaching English for Academic Purposes) with definitions/explanations of common yet slippery concepts eg #AcademicVoice #Criticality #Argument, etc?

These #AcWri workshops are powerful:

"Neoliberal publication models have led to the gaming of citations by authors, the manipulation of bibliometric data by journal editors, and [lots more]"

At 4pm (UK) on Thursday 25 January, I'm giving a #IOEWritingSeminar on how the theory of #CriticalRealism helps me make sense of #WhatMakesWritingAcademic.

Chaired by my #OpenUniversity colleague Dr Jackie Tuck.

My chapter in 'Re-imaginging doctoral writing' argues that #WhatMakesWritingAcademic is emergent, open, and non-reductive.

This allows for it to be diverse whilst also stable within social structures.

Hello @annamills, thank you for your work on #AI literacies, pedagogies, and awareness raising. It's helping me, at least, raise awareness within my own academic writing contexts.

Are you aware of any similar and/or specific work - including your own that I'm not aware of - relating to the use of #LLMs and other #ArtificialIntelligence writing technologies in #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralResearch #ResearchWriting?

This is a lovely review of #WhatMakesWritingAcademic:

Who else is doing research on artificial intelligence and academic writing that is policy and ethics-oriented?

Please boost, if you can, as I am hoping to reach #interdisciplinary voices & approaches to this, especially from the so-called #GlobalSouth, namely communities that don't seem to be getting much of a look-in right now on this 'western' concocted concern.

Hi #academicmastodon

Thinking ahead to the 2023-24 academic year (plus related tedious budget requests) and to populating my calendar with conferences & events relating to:

#AcademicLiteracies #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralPedagogies #AcademicPublishing #PostGraduateEducation #AcWri #ArtificialIntelligence {JM}

What's on your agendas, pls, so I can get a sense of what to look into?

Thank you, J

Professor Chrissie Boughey's Foreword often gets overlooked because it is listed under 'Front Matter', but I am really grateful to her for the way she frames #WhatMakesWritingAcademic

43 people are currently signed up to our #BALEAP2023 session and now I'm not sure how to manage such a crowd, given the session is designed to be a 'conversation':

Can AI 'level the playing field'?
