Last Friday February 28, 2025, graduate program director Hamid Ouali hosted a successful workshop on Abstract Writing. The focus was on abstracts for linguistics conferences.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ouali reviewed the elements of a successful abstract.<\/p>\n

Faculty members Nick Fleisher and Anne Pycha walked through the components of their own abstracts, and Glenn Starr offered an excellent set of tips for a compelling abstract (create tension!).<\/p>\n

Doctoral student Aisha Fuddah also walked through several of her own conference abstracts, one of which won a best-of-conference award.<\/p>\n

Attendees then broke into small groups and read a series of actual abstracts, rating them on a scale from 1 to 5. Some got difficult treatment from the crowd. Others were clear winners.<\/p>\n

As Aisha said, “If I can do it, you can do it, too.”<\/p>\n
