If you’re a grad student interested in sharing your research with a broader audience, join us on May 9 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on Zoom for a two-hour writing workshop to develop your idea(s) into an op-ed! This workshop will be led by Eva-Lynn Jagoe, author and Professor at UofT!

[MA Comm. & New Media @mcmastercnm]

In this workshop, you’ll learn more about how to write persuasively, frame an argument, and share your ideas for broader publics. At the end of the two hours, you will leave with a draft of an essay that you can pitch to non-academic outlets! 📝

Welcome Josh, his research interests reside in counter-cultural spaces and the ways those spaces may be co-opted by power. His current research focuses on how alienated individuals on the internet are co-opted into a masculine rhetoric of new patriotism #McMaster
