Abstract
In 2012, the research office at the University of Windsor announced its first writing retreat and watched the registration list fill to capacity within a single afternoon. This initial retreat developed into a retreat and workshop series that has consistently maintained its appeal. Natasha Wiebe will describe the particular retreat model that has evolved at the University of Windsor, share some outcomes reported by retreat participants, and discuss challenges and future possibilities. The session will include time for questions and break-out discussions about the successes and challenges of novel research events at participants' institutions.
Dr. Natasha Wiebe is Research Coordinator – Social Sciences, Humanities, and Health in the Office of Research and Innovation Services at the University of Windsor. In the past 6 years, she has helped coordinate over 100 workshops and events for researchers and the administrators who support them.
