dscn0780Bournemouth University has been working on a small research project with Pourakhi, a voluntary organisation which helps female migrant workers returning to Nepal, for over a year.  Pourakhi advocates for the rights of women migrant workers.  Last week they invited me to present a workshop session on Academic pourakhi-slidesWriting & Publishing, this morning I run such workshop.  The content of the workshop is based on years of experience of running similar workshops at Bournemouth University, many Higher Education colleges across Nepal and a COST-funded workshop in Malta a few years ago.  The eight people (staff and volunteers) who attended the workshop were generally inquisitive and keen to get their work into print.  Most of the paper we have written about aspects of academic writing and the publishing process have been published in Open Access journals. [1-8]   pourakhi-2017Therefore, we can easily give workshop attendees copies and/or give them the links to the online version on the web.
