Note: This session will be livestreamed.

Join Carole Sargent for this interactive session where you'll have a chance to discuss what you're working on. You can practice writing a summary statement, and learn more about writing your short biographical description in such a way that it will actually change your life (!). We can brainstorm, problem solve, and more. Sargent will discuss why cura personalis may not mean what you think it means (adding historical dimension to the term), and how understanding it in an even more nuanced way can help you think about what you're trying to publish, and who you hope to reach. This session is suitable for both the unpublished and the well-published, and everyone in between. This also enhances teaching, because your students came here to work with faculty who are flourishing in their fields.
