Graphos Banting and Vanier Review Groups (2015-2024)
Learning to offer and receive generous and constructive criticism are among the most important skills emerging scholars learn in graduate school.Ìý By reading peers’ drafts, you had an opportunity to think about how a piece of writing can go from good to great—what you learn from reading their works-in-progress will make you a better writer.Ìý Each review group consisted of applicants from related disciplines and was convened by an award recipient or an experienced writing specialist.
