Subject: Re: [APAGSREP] TRAVEL GRANTS FOR APA CONVENTION
Hey everyone,
I too made the same mistake. The travel grants are located on the APA convention website page that Renee sent us a link to. Look for the "about toronto" box and to the right of that box is a box that says "travel grants"

Subject: New Writing Course for PhD Students
ELAN 8045. Strategies for Improving Academic Writing
Bettie St.Pierre
First Session Summer School, 2009
Class meets daily from 10:30-12:45
DESCRIPTION: If you’re not a happy writer of academic texts, this may be the course for you! First, note that this is NOT a writing workshop course, but a new course designed to help doctoral students learn strategies and skills for successful academic writing. We will take a broad look at academic writing and study some of the typical genres that scholars use, i.e., the research report (including the PhD dissertation), the conceptual/theoretical paper, the methodological paper, the literature review, the book review, the conference paper, the policy brief, and so on. Students will find exemplars of these genres in their own disciplines. We will discuss strategies for getting published, how to get a paper ready to send to a journal editor, the peer review process including how to write a review of a manuscript submitted for publication, APA conventions, and the writing process and the importance of revision and editing in that process. And because writers need readers, students will form writing groups in which each will work on some piece of writing throughout the session.

Subject: client questions
Dear
A colleague and I are preparing a book for students and new professionals, and I would like your help.
I would greatly appreciate if you would circulate the attached one-page question to some of your students.(I would think that the question might serve as a very interesting learning experience in a practicum class, which is what I have done here atAkron.)
Students could either e-mail their responses to me, or, you could scan and send them as an e-mail attachment, fax them, or I would pay to have them mailed to me.
Briefly, our book will examine the moments when clients have questions and therapists must choose how to best respond.As clinicians, we can neglect opportunities to use client questions to understand what they are saying, feeling, and thinking.If we get a publisher, the book will guide therapists in how to understand and useclientquestions to explore what is said and what is implied (and reducetherapistanxiety about these questions so that they can be more comfortable in the room with clients).

Thanks for any help you can offer.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best, Charlie
