Hey all,
I’ve been meeting with staff and faculty at Trent for the past few months, and the interest in GREEN\house and the chance to integrate A\J into numerous course syllabi is pretty high!
So I’m excited to say that our webpage is now up at Alternatives Journal with new information about what faculty and instructors at Trent we’ll be working with to present you with chances to publish with A\J and reach our national online audience.
(The Trent School of the Environment has also posted information and links on their homepage, too.)
Some instructors are modifying existing assignments to make them more public-facing and accessible for a general audience, while other instructors are restructuring their end-of-year assignments so they’ll read less like academic papers and more like well-researched news features for a magazine. Which — you guessed it — you’ll have the chance to publish with A\J!
« Never written a news feature before? »
Don’t worry — that’s where we come in!
Our office in the Institute for Watershed Science lab in the Environmental Science building on Trent’s campus will be open in the coming weeks, and I’ll be holding regular office hours soon (the timing is still TBD).
While I’m on campus I’ll be available to students to talk about feature writing, structure, style, how to craft a lead and a kicker and anything else you’re curious about to get your assignment/feature in shape.
We’re here for you.
« Just a reminder... »
If you’re still interested in learning more about our #scicomm writing exercise, you can find more information here.
And details of our fact-checking opportunity are still live here.
In the coming weeks we’ll be sending out more information about exact classes we’ll be working in and (fingers crossed) some details of more substantive writing opportunities for those looking to dive headlong into the world of environmental publishing.
We’re excited — stay tuned.
Andrew
