Bonner Writer's Workshop: Syllabus for the National Community of PracticeBonner Foundation
The Bonner Writer’s Workshop is designed for administrators and faculty leaders who are working with the Bonner Community-Engaged Learning Initiative and Racial Justice Initiative. This webinar will support individuals to identify topics in which they would like to research, write, and publish public scholarship. The series will help individuals and teams of writers find focus, develop strategies for writing, and complete chapters and/or articles for publication. The year-long series, which meets monthly, will support participants in their conceptualization and writing process, identifying journals, drafting work, editing, and so on. Individual participants may also find that they gain ideas and approaches to take back to their own institutions, running writers’ workshops for students, faculty, and staff. This series is led by Dr. Ariane Hoy (Vice President), Dr. Rachayita Shah (Community Engagement Scholarship Director), and Dr. David Roncolato (Senior Faculty Fellow and Professor of Community and Justice Studies at Allegheny), representing the Bonner Foundation and involves 20+ people from the national network.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

practice than theory
Desire to connect with the professional
community, not just the LIS research community
Development of a personal reputation in the field

Recognising gap in the market – cannot find
what you are looking for, so write it yourself!
