FACET and the Writing Center will offer a Scholarly Writing Accountability Group (SWAG) for second and third-year tenure-track faculty during the January 2021 semester break.
A SWAG is an active peer-led writing group that helps faculty dedicate time for research and writing. Groups follow a structured agenda including 15 minutes of updates and goal-setting followed by 60 minutes of individual writing and then 15 minutes of reporting and wrap-up. Each group is limited to 8-10 members who commit to attending a majority of sessions. In a SWAG, there is no peer review of writing; SWAGs focus on the process of writing, not the content. SWAG members support one another to write with increased frequency and develop a sustainable writing habit.
The January SWAG will begin on January 6, 2021, with an orientation meeting at 10 am. The group will meet virtually 2-3 times per week throughout the semester break. Scheduling will depend on participant availability.
Please contact E. Mairin Barney at ebarney@towson.edu and Desirée Rowe at drowe@towson.edu with any questions.
