The Finish Line

We have made it to the finish line!

It was such a pleasure to listen to your lightning talks last night, as I considered each of your plans for future research. What an inspiration! I can see how all of you have evolved as emerging researchers.

You have all begun the deeper process of apprehending your own “research identity” within the field of Writing Studies.  And each of you has engaged in the overall process of “discovery” when it come to the kind of research you might actually pursue for your eventual MA thesis project. No matter what course of inquiry you will eventually pursue for your final thesis project in this MA program, all of you has now engaged in active and formal research processes (in order to complete this degree). I am proud of the collective work you have all done this semester to grow in this particular manner.

A reminder:
