20.10.2023 / 09:00–17:00 / Schreiben mit Leichtigkeit und System
PROMOVIERENDE (die sich kurz vor oder in der Schreibphase befinden)
Welche Schreibstrategien haben Sie schon für sich entdeckt? Und an welchen Stellen hakt es noch? Gerade beim Übergang vom Forschen zum Schreiben hilft es, wenn Sie sich bewusst machen, welche Schreibstrategien schon funktionieren und für welche Teilschritte des wissenschaftlichen Schreibens Ihnen noch das richtige Handwerkszeug fehlt. Hier setzen wir im Workshop an. Ausgehend von Ihrem vorhandenen Wissen erfahren Sie, wie Sie Ihren Schreibprozess (besser) steuern können. Sie erkunden, was für ein Schreibtyp sie sind, und entwickeln aus den angebotenen Methoden der prozessorientierten Schreibdidaktik individuelle Strategien, um souverän durch die Schreibphase Ihrer Forschungsprojekte zu gelangen. Die praxisorientierten Handwerkstechniken erproben Sie entlang der Teilschritte Strukturieren und Fokussieren, Losschreiben und Überarbeiten (Inhalt/Sprache) direkt an Ihrem aktuellen Schreibprojekt (Monografie, Paper etc.).
Ergebnisse:
– Eigene Schreibprozesse verstehen und besser steuern können
– Ressourcenorientierter Umgang mit Hürden im Schreibprozess
– Schnelle Schreibimpulse und vertiefende Methoden zum Strukturieren und Losschreiben für unterschiedliche Schreibtypen
– Methoden der inhaltlich-strukturellen und sprachlichen Textüberarbeitung

05.12.2023 / 09:00–17:00 / Anti-Procrastination Training: Tackle your “instant gratification monkey”
DOCTORAL CANDIDATES, POSTDOCS
Academic work usually includes working on long term projects, such as dissertations and post-doctoral theses, third-party funding applications, collaborative projects, etc. Although we often find these projects very exciting, it is not a rare phenomenon that answering emails or working through administrative tasks leaves us seemingly more satisfied. In his TED Talk (2016), Tim Urban blames this on an inner "instant gratification monkey" that causes us to prioritize quick or fun tasks over large, complex projects, thus putting off the latter for longer than we would like. In this workshop, we will explore the cognitive processes behind procrastination, how you can recognize your own behavioral patterns, and how you can develop strategies to take the wheel back into your own hands.
Outcomes:
Participants will have:
– learned about the cognitive processes and preconditions that lead to procrastination
– recognized their own behavioral patterns based on self-selected examples
– developed individual coping and relapse strategies with the help of the Zurich Resource Model (ZRM®)

17.01.2024 / 13:00–17:00 / Mental Health in Academia: A mission impossible?
DOCTORAL CANDIDATES, POSTDOCS
"Here is some bad news: we have a mental health crisis in academia." (Kafedjiska/Heckmann/Pires et al. 2022)
In recent years, various studies have shown – especially with regard to doctoral students – that researchers are exposed to a significantly higher risk of mental illnesses than comparable groups outside of academia. The authors cited above do not blame this on the individual predispositions of academics, but have proved that systemic factors have a relevant influence on their mental health.In this workshop, we will take a closer look at the connection between mental health and the system academia. Together, we will explore which conditions, (supposed) traditions and attitudes can affect our well-being, and how we possibly contribute to the preservation of these structures with our own behavior. Finally, participants will be encouraged to assemble a personal ‘first aid kit’ which may help face future mental health challenges in academia.
If requested by the participants, the workshop offers the opportunity to share personal experiences – but does not require it.
What this workshop is not: a psychotherapeutic treatment, a self-help group, the key to a better mental health.
If you need professional help to cope with a crisis or to treat (suspected) mental illness, you can contact, for example, the following services:
– Deutsche Telefonseelsorge (free, anonymous, 24/7, in German only): 0800 / 111 0 111; 0800 / 111 0 222
– Samaritans Helpline (free, anonymous, 24/7, in English only): 116 123
– Psychotherapie Ambulanz der WWU: https://www.uni-muenster.de/Psychologie.pta/#anchor_1_19
– Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital Münster (UKM): Albert-Schweitzer-Straße 11, 48149 Münster, +49 251-8356601 (24-hour on-call service)
Outcomes:
Participants will have:
– learned about the influence of academic structures on mental health
– reflected on their own role in the system and will have identified room for action
– developed individualized prevention measures and coping strategies for possible mental health challenges during the doctoral or post-doctoral phase

DOCTORAL CANDIDATES
Plagiarism is theft and fraud that can result in you losing everything you’ve been working on for a very long time. Yet, some achieve succcess despite having plagiarised other people’s work. We may turn to plagiarism intentionally to save ourselves time at an approaching deadline. We may also turn to plagiarism unintentionally because we lack knowledge in citation or fail to distinguish between our own ideas and those of others. Many of us are afraid of plagiarism and some of us see plagiarism where none is to be found. In this session, we’ll figure out what is considered plagiarism, learn how to recognise it, deal with it, and see why there are areas in which it thrives.
Outcomes:
– Define and recognise different types of plagiarism
– Explain why providing accurate citations matters and outline the consequences of plagiarism
– Acquire strategies to write authentic texts and avoid falling into the plagiarism trap
